Rachel from Maison de Pax is sharing her first guest post on our blog today and you’ll love the project she has for you: painted mason jars. So easy, but such a great result! It’s the perfect project for some of our sample jars!
Hello Country Chic Paint lovers (and, for those of you who have yet to try it, soon-to-be-lovers)! I’m Rachel from Maison de Pax, and I am so honored to be a part of the Country Chic Paint blogger squad. At Maison de Pax, we are working to renovate, redecorate, and rejuvenate our 1940 colonial to be a place where peace can be found; feel free to tour our home if you’d like. Our most recent focus has been our attic renovation, but for years I have loved to make over old file cabinets, paint mason jars, and create my own decor on a budget. With Country Chic Paint, I’ve already created a chippy side table, painted a “sunbleached” look, and gilded a frame… I love the endless possibilities! Today, I’m excited to share a simple but stunning project: painted mason jars.
You may have seen similar projects before; it’s not rocket science. I’ve used acrylic craft paints and spray paint in the past, but this was my first time to try a chalk-based paint on mason jars.
I find two major benefits to the chalk-based paint. First, it seems to stick to the glass much better than other paints (since chalk-based paint is made especially for adherence). And second, Country Chic Paint distresses easily and smoothly, giving a natural, worn look to the jars.
So, without further ado, here’s the simple step-by-step process:
That’s it! So simple. I’m saving the pink jars for something special, but I’m enjoying the gray and white in the meantime. I hope you enjoy them, too!
