Spring Painted Mason Jar Tutorial
How to make hand-painted DIY Spring Painted Mason Jar!
I love the way Mason Jars look when they are painted and today I'm sharing how I hand-painted these cuties for my Spring decor. You can either paint them with glossy paint, matte, or use techniques to distress them for a shabby chic look. I chose to make these and eggshell finish, in which I merely combined the two {glossy and matte} paint finishes and eggshell was born!
These pastel Spring Mason Jar colors really evoke the feelings of gorgeous Spring flowers and beautiful warm sunset evenings to come. I wanted specific pastel colors yet I couldn't find the shade of paint I needed in my local store, so in order to DIY and save some money I decided to make my own shade using paint I already had. AND I literally used my hands to hand-paint one of the layers of paint since I didn't want brush strokes....then I finished it off with a spray paint layer for a softened effect:) Ready to make beautiful Spring Mason Jars?
Let's DIY...
They don't have to be perfect, just paint....
I put these above the stove in my Office Kitchen, I needed to spruce up the space!
It's a rental space so I can only use temporary solutions.
Pastel Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Aqua Teal
Spring Colors:)
Use whatever paint you have on hand then use white spray paint to adjust the shade to your preference...

We partnered up to bring you some Spring inspiration you can make this season:)
