If you’ve seen Pinterest, you’ve seen DIY mason jar projects all over the place, and if you haven’t seen Pinterest… it’s quite possible you’re living in a hole or haven’t explored my website enough (Go back to my homepage and click on the large ‘P’, you’ll thank me later.)  Anyways, I figured that if I’m going to ‘like’ all of these pins, then I should try them out for myself!  Who doesn’t love a procrastination craft night?

 

LACE JARS:

1. Find relatively narrow strips of lace.  We (myself & one of my bride’s) found ours at Fabricland for $2.50 a meter.

2. If you’re going to use burlap, you can find it at places like Art Knapp for less than $2.00 a yard.

3. Use either a hot glue gun or spray glue (buy from Michael’s for $6-$7 a can) to stick your lace to your jars.  I used spray glue and it was so quick and easy!

4. You’re done!  So quick and easy and makes for perfect rustic wedding decor.

 

GOLD JARS:

1. Go to Walmart and buy gold metallic spray paint (costs about $5)

2. If you’re being efficient, buy your mason jars at Walmart.  If you’re a bargain hunter, I bought mine at Zellers for a bigger selection and slightly cheaper prices.  I’ve also found some at Value Village.

3. Spray at least a foot away from the jars and keep them spinning.  I learned the hard way that spraying too close or without turning quick enough looks really ugly once the jars have candles in them.

4. Enjoy your cheap & awesome new vase/candle holder/centerpiece/and more!
