Mason jars have been making a huge comeback recently and they are no longer used only for your grandmother’s canning needs. These days they hold anything from quick and easy on the go salads and snacks to hand poured candles. This YouTube video from flourishxo shows how to make DIY colored mason jars. They add an extra pop of color for any room in the house and can be used for holding flowers or a flame-less tea light. Best of all they are very inexpensive and easy to make.
Start by gathering your materials. You will need mason jars of any size, different colored modge podges, a plastic container/bowl and paper towels. Begin by pouring some colored modge podge into a mason jar and place the lid on tight. Then, tip the jar all around and upside down so that the modge podge coats the entire inside surface of the glass evenly.
Take your time and be sure to make certain there are no spots left uncovered by the glue. After, remove the lid and turn the jar upside down into the bowl so that any and all excess glue drips down and out. Repeat the process for each jar you want to color and then take some paper towel and wipe up any excess modge podge from the lid(s). Wait about 12 hours to completely dry before using them for whatever you’d like!
The colored mason jars will make a beautiful decoration on a porch or as an addition to a picnic table spread. You can use them to hold utensils, napkins, candles, flowers, or as a hold-all for little knick knacks. The possibilities are wide open and they are incredibly easy to make with things you likely already have on hand. Check it out and give it a try!
