Painting Mason jars is a great way to get a custom look for whatever glass jar project your heart desires. They make great inexpensive centerpieces, too. Recently, Chantelle’s parents celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, and the family was planning a little surprise shindig for this golden festivity. It was time to get crafting! Here are the supplies you need: clean Mason jars* Bungalow 47™ Furniture Paint (we used Clawfoot Tub) gold glitter white glue painter’s tape sanding block brush buffing cloth *New glass jars are not necessary for your project; just make sure they are clean and free from any oily residue, especially old adhesives from labels.

As soon as we arrived, we realized that this was going to take a while and that yes, we were indeed going to get our hands dirty. We […]
