Chalk Painted Mason Jar

Well I've painted quite a few things using chalk paint, but this is a first for me!  A Mason Jar!



I've seen a few painted vases and mason jars and wanted to give it a try.  I knew this jar was going to be perfect to chalk paint.  And isn't it so perfect for Fall?!  I found this one at a thrift shop for under a dollar!


I was so excited after distressing it I wanted to share my beautiful results!  I gave it a coat of Americana Decor in the color Timeless, it's a favorite color choice of mine, after white of course!  After the paint had dries I gently wiped/rubbed away some of the paint on the raised areas which really enhanced the design and lettering.   Such an easy project and what a nice transformation!  I'd read and heard that using chalk paint on glass works well, and I definitely believe it now after having done it myself!


I love the magic of paint!
