Mod Podge Floral DIY Mason Jars
One of my all-time favorites, these floral mason jars were made by Bellewood Cottage and she has the full directions over there… but here’s a quick rundown on how to make these beauties.
Items you will need to make these floral Mod Podge DIY mason jars:
- any size mason jars
- white paint – preferably chalk paint
- floral paper napkins
- Mod Podge matte or any decoupage medium
- sharp craft sciccors
- paint brushes
- clear sealing paint (optional)
Where can you find cute napkins? Keep an eye out when you visit Marshalls, HomeGoods, TJMaxx, gift shops and craft stores like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. Sometimes Target has pretty paper napkins and Amazon and Etsy have lots too.
Try one of these pretty floral napkin designs:
Here’s the steps to make these pretty jars:
- Paint the jars – I suggest applying two to three coats of white chalk paint to quart-size jars (other sizes work too). Be sure to wait the complete dry time between coats. No need to seal the paint quite yet.
- Peel the napkins top layer off – most napkins have 2-3 layers but you’ll only need the thin decorated layer
- Cut the flowers out – use a pair of small sharp scissors and cut out the individual flowers you want. You can then go back and trim closer to the edges. If another layer appears, simply peel that off too.
- Apply with Mod Podge – grab some Mod Podge Matte and use a paintbrush to apply a little where you plan to stick the first image from the napkin. Apply the image and paint over it with more Mod Podge. Repeat to cover the vase. To avoid a patchy look, coat the entire jar with Mod Podge when finished or use a clear spray paint (matte) to coat.
- Spray with a clear coat over the entire jar
