Lace Patterned Mason Jars, Half Clear


Materials
  • Mason Jar (or any glass jar!) 
  • Lace doily or ribbon (I use a doily) 
  • Spray paint (1 or 2 colors) 
  • Painter's tape
Time
  • 5 minutes to tape 
  • 5 minutes to spray paint 
  • 30 or so minutes to dry 
  • *optional second coat adding about 40 minutes 

Difficulty
  • Easy 

Step One

  • Place lace on the jar with small bits of painter's tape (if a mason jar, opposite side of the words) 
  • Make sure the tape is on the lace and not a hole in the lace, because it will alter the stencil 








If you want to use two colors, apply doily AFTER spraying painting front of jar another color


Step Two

  • Spray paint away! 
















Note:

After spray painting base, (step one), let it dry, place doily, and spray paint entire jar.



Step Three


  • Remove tape and lace Doily














Step Four

  • Situate and enjoy! 






(Add clear stones to the bottom to raise pens and pencils if the jar is too shallow)















Two colors:




  • this jar was left outside during wind, which weathered it, but here is an example of the bicolored jar!



Hope you LOVED it!!!
