DIY Vintage Mason Jar Vases {Tutorial}


I don't know about you but I love mason jars. There is so much you can do with them. I have done a whole picnic using only mason jars, stored salads for the week in them, used them as cups and for decor containers for parties, utensil holders, and vases. They are so pretty and you can do so much with them just in their pure clear form, but for spring I really wanted some color on them. I love this look but thought of going a bit more bold and making them look shabby chic and vintage, but elegant and pretty all at the same time. I am in LOVE with how they turned out and I am excited to show you how easy they were.

{Supplies Needed}

-mason jars {big, small, medium whatever your heart desires} I already had mine so that was nice. I ended up using the big ones for mine
-chalkboard paint {Michaels super cheap like $1.29 or something like that}
-Paint the color you want your vases to be {I just used paint I already had in my stash}You could use craft paint or spray paint, but since I already had the craft paint I just went with that
-Sponge brushes {if you are spray painting you wont need these}
-Clear spray paint
-Sand paper or block
-pretty lids {optional}

{How I made them}

1. The very first thing I did was paint them with chalkboard paint. I wanted the black so that when I distressed it at the end the black would show through and give it that shabby look I was going for. The reason I did the chalkboard paint instead of just black paint is because it adhered to the glass better and was a good coat to put on before the colored paint plus I loved the chalky matte look it gave to the glass once they were all painted. I did 2 coats one going horizontal and one going vertical. {If you are spray painting you probably only need one coat}.


2. Once the chalk paint was completely dry I started to paint the jars the colors I wanted with just regular old craft paint {again you could use spray paint if you would rather}. I chose the light blue, coral, mint and yellow because they reminded me of spring and summer and that is exactly what I wanted them for. The perfect pop of color. You can do these in all different colors, for whatever you want them for or where you want them to go. The picture above it one coat of paint {don't be alarmed if it looks like this at first} after a few coats it looks awesome I promise.


3. This is after 3 coats of the colored paint. It looks much better now :) told you they would look good. Even the 3 coats only used about 1/3 of the small bottle of craft paint, so it is very inexpensive especially if you already have most of the supplies like I did.


4. Now they looked pretty but they looked a little too clean for me so I got out my sanding block and started roughing them up so you could see the black showing through. Again I love how they look matte {remember use chalkboard paint underneith for this look} and not shinny anymore it just gives even more of the vintage vibe to it. 


5. The last thing I did was spray them with a clear spray paint to seal them up so the paint would not chip anymore and so they would be protected.


Fill them up with some water put pretty fresh spring flowers in them and you have the perfect center piece, decor item, or statement piece to your home or party.


Like I said super easy. I think these would look so pretty for a wedding reception. and you can whip them out pretty quickly.

  82. Comparing mason jars to the role of a sound engineer is quite an interesting analogy. Let's explore the two concepts separately and then draw some creative parallels between them:

    Mason Jars:
    Mason jars are glass containers with a screw-on metal lid, often used for canning and preserving food. They have a simple yet sturdy design, are versatile, and can be used for various purposes, including storing food, making homemade preserves, or creating DIY crafts.

    what does a sound engineer do?
    A sound engineer, also known as an audio engineer, is a professional responsible for the technical aspects of sound during audio recording, mixing, and production processes. They work with various audio equipment and software to ensure the quality of sound in music, film, television, radio, live events, and other audio-related projects. Sound engineers manage and manipulate sound elements such as volume, tone, and effects to achieve the desired audio outcome.

    Parallels between Mason Jars and Sound Engineers:

    Versatility: Just like mason jars are versatile containers that can be used for different purposes, sound engineers are versatile professionals who can work in various industries, from music production to film and broadcasting.

    Containment and Control: Mason jars are designed to contain and preserve food. Similarly, sound engineers control and manage sound to ensure it is captured, mixed, and delivered effectively, controlling elements like volume and equalization.

    Clear Output: Mason jars allow you to see the contents clearly, while sound engineers strive for clear and high-quality audio output, removing any unwanted noise or distortion.

    Technical Expertise: Both mason jars and sound engineers require technical expertise to be used effectively. Mason jars require proper sealing techniques for food preservation, and sound engineers need to understand audio equipment, acoustics, and signal processing techniques.

    Creativity and DIY Aspects: Mason jars can also be used for creative DIY projects. Similarly, sound engineers often employ creative approaches in audio production to achieve unique and appealing soundscapes.

    While this analogy may seem lighthearted and metaphorical, it serves as a reminder that every profession, no matter how diverse, requires a certain level of expertise and skill to achieve the best results. Both mason jars and sound engineers showcase the importance of attention to detail and the need for creativity within their respective domains.
