Isn’t it funny that we’ve started decorating with something that used to be used to store food? Who would have thought that a simple glass storage mug could create a decorating craze! So now that I’ve caught this “decorating craze” I want to share with you a few ways I’ve created my own easy mason jar decor.
What paint sticks to old mason jars?
Chalk paint, milk paint, and all in one paints will normally stick to glass without applying a primer product first. Word to the wise, make sure to use a sealer product after using chalk paint or milk paint. You can see below I used a chalk paint product to paint these two mason jars.

I would use them all over the house if I could. There are tons of ways to create up cycle crafts from them. Without further ado, here are two easy ideas to upcycle those old jars.
Mason jar flower planters
Pictured above are two mason jars I painted with Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue, hot glued two pieces of rope around them, and added a few flowers from Walmart. Easy peasy!
Mason Jars are so versatile, and can be repurposed in so many ways.
I love how we can recreate farmhouse vibes with a little easy mason jar home decor.
Here is another way I have REPURPOSED a mason jar to fit with my modern farmhouse home decor;
Mason jar soap dispenser
I used an old hand soap pump and inserted it in to the top of this “mason jar margarita glass,” painted it with milk paint, and hot glued a piece of ribbon around the top. How about that for a new piece of home decor?
It’s funny to think what my late grandmother would say if she saw this hand soap dispenser right now. Twenty years ago mason jars were a VERY functional and necessary item to store food. Now, they are becoming a decorating CRAZE! Does anyone store food in a mason
I love the rustic farmhouse style that these create.
How about you, have you completed any mason jar projects?
