After She Paints These Mason Jars Blue And White, She REALLY Punches Them Up!

She began with BIG mason jars–quart size.  She painted them with blue and white acrylic paint.

Then she went in for the stripes:

Next, the stars…

Finally, she distressed them with sand paper and a file.  Also did a file coat of clear enamel to protect them.

The final product is awesome!

Loving the imperfect and distressed look of these and the big jar size makes them so useful for parties and picnics.
