Instructions

Here's how to paint Mason Jars with chalk paint:

Apply 2 coats of white chalk paint - be sure to allow enough time to dry in between to get the best coverage.
Next, leave about 6 inches free and then wrap the twine about 5 times around the top of the jar leaving 6 inches or so at the end to create the bow.
String the heart chalkboard tag on and tie a bow.

While these are just styled with some faux eucalyptus, they would be beautiful to hold fresh flowers, of course. The tall jars are perfect in the kitchen to hold utensils, while shorter jars are ideal to hold pens and pencils.

The best part is that since they're so neutral, you can easily style them to go with any holiday or party theme and endless year-round possibilities.

Use as a planter like these pretty DIY gifts.
Fill the jars with fresh pink roses for Valentine's Day or cheery sunflower in the summer.
Place them on a tray surrounded by ornaments at Christmas.

How do you seal chalk paint on mason jars?

I didn't choose to seal the chalk paint on my mason jars since I won't be handling them much, but if you plan to use them in a location where they might get knocked around or wet, I do recommend sealing the paint with an acrylic sealer or ModPodge (I like the matte version for a more rustic look).
