As I was wandering about Michaels stocking up on craft supplies for me and the kids (since we are homebound for the next several days/weeks thanks to COVID-19) I saw a soap pump for a jar. Then I recalled seeing painted mason jars on the interwebs--some were for soap, toothbrushes, flowers, etc. Ergo I decided to give it a whirl. I added the pump, jar, and chalk paint to the cart, plus some other stuff (it was not a cheap trip).
This is a great way to upcycle some unused mason jars you have. If you are unable to get out to an arts and crafts store, Amazon has many if not all of the supplies required for this project.
How hard can this be? I followed the directions on the back of the paint bottle: Paint, dry at least 2 hours between coats (I didn't wait that long, maybe 30 minutes and I applied 3 coats), distress with sandpaper, and seal. I sealed it with Krylon varnish and acrylic sprays.
1 coat of paint |
3 coats of paint and distressed |
Boom! Done! Now it has found its home in our kitchen.
