Supply List for the Mason Jar Vase DIY
To create this DIY Mason jar vase for Mother’s Day, you’ll need just a few basic following supplies.
The star of the show is, of course, the mason jar—any size mason jar will do. If you don’t have a mason jar, it doesn’t need to be that jar specifically – why not use up those leftover jars from your pantry? It’s a great way to recycle and reduce waste, all while creating something beautiful.
To dress it our upcycled jar, we’ll be using acrylic paint, which is the best choice for its quick-drying, vibrant finish that adheres beautifully to glass. While we’re swooning over a pop of pink and a dash of glitter for Mother’s Day, feel free to pick any color paint that sings to your heart, or go with mom’s favorite color.
Along with a trusty paintbrush, some gold glitter, and a few more crafting staples, you’ll have all you need to create a mason jar vase that’s as unique as your creativity.
