If you love farmhouse Christmas decor but don’t want to spend a fortune on seasonal decorations, painted mason jars are one of those wonderfully simple projects that can completely change the look of a shelf, table or kitchen counter. This chalk painted mason jar DIY turns ordinary glass jars into rustic farmhouse-style vases using just a little paint, twine and seasonal greenery.
For this version, the jars are painted in classic white, Christmas red and metallic gold, making them perfect for holiday decorating. Fill them with faux pine, snowy stems, eucalyptus or whatever greenery you already have on hand, then finish each jar with raffia, jute or ribbon around the neck. I love projects like this because the same basic technique can be adapted for almost any season simply by changing the paint colours and what you put inside the jars.
Chalk paint is especially useful for mason jar crafts because it creates that soft, matte finish that works so well with rustic, farmhouse and vintage-style decor. You can leave the paint smooth for a cleaner look or lightly distress the raised lettering and edges with sandpaper for a more weathered finish.
These painted mason jars look lovely grouped together as a Christmas table centerpiece, displayed on a kitchen counter, arranged across a mantel or used individually throughout the house. They’re also an inexpensive handmade decorating idea if you already have jars waiting to be recycled.
And once Christmas is over, don’t pack the idea away. Try soft pastels for spring, orange and cream for fall, or neutral white and beige for an easy year-round farmhouse display. It’s one of those simple DIY projects you can keep reinventing again and again.
Paint 2 mason jars with 3 coats of the waverly off white chalk paint
Paint 1 mason jar with 3 coats of the red chalk paint
Once the 2 off white mason jars are completely dry, paint one of them with 2 coats of metallic paint
Once completely dry add the raffia round the top to the amount you desire and tie in a bow
Thank you! Always wondered how to do this.
