Jars are perfect for all sorts of crafty things. From painting the lids and using them to store your crafty items or simply paint them to make a collection of sweet Homey Vases.
Supplies needed:
- Various sizes of glass jars
- Fusion Mineral Paint – Coal Black Sample
- Fusion Mineral Paint – Ultra Grip
- Number Stencil
- Sanding Block
- Jute Twine
- Wax
- Paint Brush
- Fusion Mineral Paint – Picket Fence, Heirloom and Brook
Step 1 – Firstly pop all the jars through the dishwasher to make sure that they are squeaky clean. If you don’t have a dishwasher wash them in hot soapy water.
Step 2 – Let the jars completely dry. Give them a coat of Ultra Grip and then let dry.
Step 3 – Grab your paintbrush and give the jars 2 to 3 coats of Heirloom, Picket Fence and Brook. Let them dry in between each coat.
Step 4 – Once completely dry, take your number stencil and Coal Black stipple your desired numbers onto each bottle.
Step 5 – Once dry using your sanding block, sand back the bottles and numbers in certain area’s to give the bottles that nice distressed look.

Step 6 – Apply wax to the entire bottle to seal in all of your hard work and embellish the neck of the jars with a cute jute bow.
