Flower Mason Jar
Flower Mason Jar
From the Designer: "Paint a mason jar with a glitter effect then add a gorgeous flower to the front! This mason jar will look great in your craft room holding paint brushes and so much more! The simple flower can be made with just a pair of scissors and some very special material from Rinea. The glitter effect comes from two different paints from Plaid Crafts. This includes their new Glitterific paint that gives a stunning effect in just one coat."

Materials List
- Mason jar
- Color shift paint
- Glitterific paint
- Rinea foiled paper
- Diamond dots
- Hot glue
- Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Paintbrush
- Pallet knife
Instructions
-
Paint the mason jar with a couple of coats of color shift paint in the color of your choice. Allow to dry in between coats.
-
To make the flower, fold the 4x6 Rinea paper in half lengthwise and cut flower petal shapes with scissors.
-
Add a slit in the bottom of each of these shapes.
-
Use the handle of a paintbrush to curl the opposite end of each petal.
-
Fold the slit over itself and secure with hot glue to complete each petal.
-
I made two layers of petals that were curled out and two layers curled in. I then secured these together with hot glue to make a flower.
-
For the center of the flower, I used leftover Diamond Dots from a project and secured them in the center in a puddle of hot glue.
-
Cut leaves from the green Rinea foiled paper. You can score lines on these and secure to the back of your flower with hot glue.
-
Finish the mason jar with a pallet knife and some Glitterific paint. Add a thick coat and allow to dry completely.
-
Then use hot glue to secure the flower on the front of the mason jar. Add in paintbrushes or whatever you want to organize in your craft space.
