Mason Jars are everywhere right now – so why not take advantage and use this vintage jar (or new if you pick them up at the store) for an adorable centerpiece. You could use them as is and fill with flowers or make them a little fancier and add paint, a stencil and Americanย flags for a fun Independence Day centerpiece!

Here’s what you need to make this fun crafty Mason Jar Centerpiece project!

How To Make a Mason Jar Centerpiece

July 4th Centerpiece supplies

Mason jars โ€“ any size youโ€™d like.
Red and blue acrylic paint
White chalk paint
foam brushes
stencils in stars and stripes
table cloth or fabric of your choice
twine

You can easily paint your jars with chalk paint. It sticks to just about anything and is perfect for this project. It goes on anything without any prep and stays put onย allย materials – wood, metal, fabric and glass! Use your foam brush and paint on the chalk paint – covering your jar.

After you’ve painted your jar with a coat or two of chalk paint, take a fine grit sanding sponge or paper and sand the jar down to distress it โ€“ paying attention to the raised letters and edges to make it looked aged and naturally worn. The paint will come off easily.

Try using stick on stars and stripe stencils to decorate your jars.ย Once you’ve painted on the design โ€“ remove the stencil while the paint is still wet. It comes off easier and cleaner that way. I then used my sanding block again and went over the stenciled area to age it a bit. You could leave it nice and bright, too.

Add some twine around the top of the jar to add a little more detail.
