Creating your own vintage jars
Transform a plain mason jar into a vintage-aged centerpiece with this DIY project! Using just mod podge, a paintbrush, a few drops of blue food coloring, and a mason jar, you can easily create a beautiful aged look. Let’s get started!
The hubby brought home some beautiful flowers for me, so I decided to play around with some of my recycled mason jars.
Supplies:
1 tablespoon of mod podge
1 teaspoon water
3 drops of blue food coloring
1 drop of green food coloring.
1 teaspoon water
3 drops of blue food coloring
1 drop of green food coloring.
Directions
You can play around with the colors as much as you would like.
Simply mix the mod podge, water, and food coloring together and paint the color on the outside of the jars
This is how it will look immediately after you apply the mixture
About 10 minutes later
About 20 minutes later you will end up with a beautiful-looking vintage jar. Maybe walk away during the dry time (just kidding) so you don’t get worried they aren’t going to turn out.
Let me know if you give this a try, it’s so pretty!
Love how they turned out! 🙂 Rachel

Those are just darling. I love them. You always have such a way with displaying things in such a beautiful way. And what a sweet hubby!
Love the look of those jars, I will make some, I just have a question, can you wash them? or once you wash them they need to be re-painted.
Have a great week!

This is great! Thanks for the link to the instructions. I need to make time to do this one….
I love them! They turned out so cute and look perfect in the caddy with the flowers. 🙂 I was thinking about trying them today but got side-tracked with cleaning windows! Not really sure what I was thinking. 🙂

They look beautiful! I actually bought all the supplies for this project about 6 months ago. Then I ended up finding some vintage blue/green Ball jars at a market, and never got around to creating the new ones. You have inspired me to revisit that project 🙂
Precioso el color de los nuevos botes y por supuesto felicitaciones por tener un marido tan adorable flores para su mujer eso no lo hacen todos jejejej.Bss Josefa.
Love it! I can’t wait to try this.
Kristin, these turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing the how-to – I want to try this in pink! 🙂 Pinning and have a happy week!
