We’re getting our GLITTER on today! Literally, it’s in all the places. BUT these jars are so gorgeous I’m going to ignore the fact that I now look like a disco ball. They are absolutely perfect for not only the holidays (these will so be gracing my New Year’s Eve Table) but I can even see these for birthdays, weddings, engagement parties okay pretty much for anything and everything that you want to add a little sparkle to. You do want to sparkle don’t you?
You can pick up almost everything for this project at your local LOWE’S HOME IMPROVEMENT. Here’s what you’ll need:
SUPPLIES:
Mason Jars
Valspar Metallic Spray Paint
Mod Podge Gloss
1″ Paint Brush
Extra Fine Glitter
Fresh Flowers
Directions 1. Make sure your mason jars are clean and dry.
2. Place jars upside down on a cardboard box. Spray jars with desired metallic paint. Allow jars to dry completely. Apply a second coat if necessary.
3. Using a paint brush, apply Mod Podge to bottom 1/4 of the jar. Sprinkle glitter over Mod Podge. Gently shake jar to remove excess glitter. Allow jars to dry completely.Do NOT use tape when painting Mod Podge onto jars. It will remove the paint.
4. Add water and fresh flowers.
These jars are for decorative purposes only.
I ALWAYS have mason jars lying around the house (yes we even drink out of them – Southern law and all) and I love to re-purpose (call it frugal, cheap, whatever) so this easy DIY project is right up my alley. I used pint sized mason jars with fresh flowers for this project but I could see these with just about any size you want to use. I’m thinking of making smaller ones (using jelly jars) and adding floating tea lights. Nice right?
We decided to go with gold and silver to keep it festive for the holidays. But because you know how much we love options, I think it would be gorgeous using pale pastel paints and glitters or even black, yes most definitely black.
Bring on the glitter!! Yes, you never get rid of it. Yes, someone will point out glitter in your eyelash in March, but isn’t glitter pretty? Love these jars by the way. So pretty! And.Glitter.
Glitter makes everything better!
You can never have too much glitter! So pretty!

There are worse things to look like than a disco ball. Glitter is good!

I love Mod Podge. In my 20s, I Mod Podged EVERYTHING that could withstand a paintbrush. These are super creative. Talk about repurposing!
So pretty and festive! I love that these are DIY and fairly inexpensive and simple – I totally want to make some.
I’ve painted mason jars before, but I never added glitter – so fun! I adore that copper colored one.
Flipping Fabulous! Love this idea!
Gorgeous!!! I truly love all your crafts! You creative genius, you!
