Painted Mason Jars
Tools:
Mason jars
Acrylic matte paint
Foam paint brush
Fine-grit Sandpaper

Start with a clean jar so your paint will adhere correctly. Use the foam paint brush to paint your jar all over with the acrylic matte paint. Let dry at least 3 hours, then paint with a second coat. Let dry overnight.
Sand all over the raised words on the jar with sandpaper (or a nail file). Distress the lip and a few randomly chosen spots around the jar.
Fill with your favorite flowers for a centerpiece, or use as a holder for straws or cutlery.
