Here is the list of items I used to make my Patriotic Mason Jar craft:
Trader Joe’s
They have these gorgeous flowers in stock right now in red, white, and blue (they are purple but close enough). If you cannot find them, use red or white.
Walmart
Pro tip: Order online and choose pickup for delivery. Go to the designated area at your local Walmart and wait in your car while someone brings them right to you!
White Acrylic Paint – I used Snow White Acrylic Paint in Matte Finish. I bought two of them and ended up using only one to make eight jars with three coats.
Sanding Block – I used Fine Grit.
Twine – you can substitute ribbon in patriotic colors.
Hobby Lobby
(4th of July items on sale right now)
How to Make Patriotic Canning Jars
- Paint the canning jars with two coats of white Acrylic paint. Let each coat dry completely. I left mine on my covered patio overnight.
- Lightly sand to distress the jars. Be sure to sand the raised areas.
- Tie some twine around your jar in a bow or knot.
- Fill with patriotic pics and mini flags
- Add water and add your flowers
Optional – you can spray the jars with a clear coat of sealant to keep the paint from chipping.
My granddaughter is having a patriotic-themed birthday party this weekend. She was my little helper! I think my patriotic mason jar craft will look great on the tables!
