Let's make this craft: Farmhouse-style jar decor.
Supplies and Materials for the Project
- 1-3 Mason Jars, find them on Amazon (16-ounce mason jars and 32-ounce mason jars) or your local craft store
- White Chalk Paint – My favorites are Waverly White Chalk Paint, Folk Art White Chalk Paint, DecoArt Chalk paints (regular paint works fine, but I like chalk paint for this project as it dries quicker and is thicker)
- Paint Brush
- Twine – (Amazon, craft store, or Dollar Tree)
- Scissors
- Chalkboard Heart Tags – (Valentine's Day Heart Chalk Board Tags I used) Amazon, craft store, or Dollar Tree. Additionally, you can use your Cricut or Cricut Joy to die-cut heart tags.
- Faux Flowers (Silk White Roses) (Silk Peach Roses) (Silk Pink and Champagne Roses) or Fresh-cut Flowers
Other chalk paint colors to consider are ballet pink if painting your mason jars for Valentine's Day decor. FolkArt Home Decor Matte Chalk Paint Colors in a matte finish, Country Chic Chalk Style Paint Colors available in 16+ colors to match your decor projects …
Instructions
With Step-by-Step Images for this farmhouse jar project
First Paint The Jars, Dry, and Paint Again
Apply 2 coats of White Chalk Paint to the jars, allowing enough time to dry in between paint coats to get the best coverage.
Let the Jars Dry
You can use a heat gun for crafts to dry the paint faster, especially if your home is cold.
Add twine around the rim, lace on a heart tag, tie off, or make a bow.
Next, leave about 6 inches free and wrap the twine about 5 times around the top of the jar.
And leave 6 inches at the end to create the bow.
Complete the project by adding artificial or fresh flowers.
String the heart chalkboard tag on and tie a bow. (Grab pink hangtags and optional colored heart tags for this project.)
Styling Tips For Mason Jars
Style mason jars with artificial rose flowers, faux flowers, or real flowers such as roses, dried flowers, sticks… Then add the decorated jars into trays grouped, or on a table, dining table, shelf, or bookcase… If you love this rustic look, you might also like my DIY Coastal Coasters, which bring a similar handmade charm to your coffee table.
Tada! The Project is Done.
Using odd numbers when making centerpieces and displays evokes interest and is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
