Spray paint.. that is a must have item these days in my stash of craft supplies.
You can quickly give something a completely different look and it is rather inexpensive.
Another must have item.. Mason Jars in all sizes.
So why not mix the 2..
I decided I wanted to use some of my Mason Jars as a candle base, but wanted them to
look distressed or shabby.. and give a little color.
So I got some spray paint, in different shades.
(the one above is a very pale pink, I also chose white, and gray)
I picked out a few jars, gave them each a quick coat of spray paint. (which dried fast)
Then I gently rubbed the paint with a paper towel, or old rag works great too..
(Note: The dry paper towel took off quite a bit of paint, so I tried it dampened and I liked that better, didn't take off quite so much.)
Then I added my glass base that I re purposed from a Candle Jar, you can see how I did that
HERE.. and topped it off with a votive candle.
Love!
I also used one as a vase.
