Hello there everyone!~

Today I am sharing how to decorate with mason jars and add a little color to your world.

Hope this day is finding you happy, healthy and full of vim and vigor!

How about adding a little color to your world?

Spray painting mason jars

If your new here, or perhaps Old here, you know we Love the use of color around our home!

I have just about used every spray paint color out there.

This one, however is NEW!

These little mason jars are just the cutest with a spray of color on them.

Better known as jelly jars, but who’s making jelly? Not me!

I have done this sort of spray painting project before and you may see under my gallery the various spray paint jobs I have done

Sorry folks, this roo talks too!

I do believe the spray paint fumes have gotten to me brain cells!

I sprayed four of these mason jars then used some twine to tie them together.

I added a splash of red ribbon.

For the record, this cake tier is not even mine.  My friend Laurian baked a cake last week and brought it over…

CAKE be gone…TIER is however a

Perfect photo staging op.  Hope she does not mind the red ribbon I added.

Makes for a cute festive Memorial day, 4th of July, or Labor day centerpiece.

Cheers and Happy day to you!

    Love that new color, Deb! I think since I “met” you, I’ve become a spray paint addict. LOL Seriously, I’m checking out the colors all the time. Have a few things to show but the wind is kicking up now and I need to finish a couple items. Fun, fun to have color everywhere!

    That’s a pretty blue, Debbie. I have a cake stand like that and I was thinking of adding some ribbon to the heart shaped holes. I’ll have to see what colors I have in my supplies and see how it looks.

    Debbie, I think they are fantastic and I’m certainly going to go get some mason jars at the goodwill. You know I ONLY shop at the goodwill since we have so many good ones around here. I’m hunting for an old wooden ladder (sort of weather beaten) now. I want to put in in the back yard with some plants on the rungs. I think these mason jars would be perfect on it.

    I’d never thought of painting them. The motif just pops and they are the perfect vase for outside. I won’t be thrilled if they get broken but I wouldn’t be devastated either C:

    Really cute, Debbie- I have not seen that color anywhere yet- of course, I have not gone looking for more paint either- I am trying to use up what I have. Everything is looking ready for the Holiday. (unless your friend comes to get her cake plate back!;>) xo Diana

    You grabbed the perfect blue from the sky. Gathered history in a mason jar. Flung bits of ribbon and splashes of red at your creation. Did a marvelous photo shoot. Brilliant! Absolutely inspiring and brilliant. Virginia
