DIY Glittery Mason Jars

September 19, 2014 by Sahily Perez 13 Comments

Disclosure: This guest post was written by Sahily Perez – founder of Pretty In Pigment.  Susan wants to give a big thanks for providing this awesome article while she is away on vacation!

 

I recently bought my first house and I have been trying to add touches of my personal style into my home décor. Last Sunday was a rainy day here in South Florida, so it was the perfect time to do a rainy day project to decorate my new space. I decided to make a DIY glittery mason jar to use as a vase for my kitchen counter.

Glittery mason jars are very easy to create and can be used to add a sparkly touch to any room in your house. You can use the jar as a penholder on your desk, a makeup brush holder on your vanity, or as a festive vase for your entry table during the holidays.

Wherever you decide to place your glittery mason jar, it’s sure to add a chic accent to any room in your home.

Want to make beautiful, decorative vases for your home on a small budget? Check out our DIY Glittery Mason Jars project here!
Supplied needed:

  • Mason Jar (Select the size based on what you are planning to use the jar for)
  • Modge Podge, Gloss Finish
  • 2 sizes of glitter (a combination of large flecks of glitter and small flecks is recommended for best results)
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon
  • Skewer (not pictured above)

Step One: Using your brush, paint the inside of the jar with Modge Podge. Make sure to evenly coat the jar with a thin coat of Modge Podge.

Step Two: While the Modge Podge is still wet and tacky, tilt your jar to the side and sprinkle the large flecks of glitter inside. For best results, do one side at a time. If you get a clump of glitter in once section, you can separate it using the skewer. Once you have a coat of large glitter on the walls of the jar, you can sprinkle some on the bottom and along the upper rim of the jar.

Step Three: Now you will want to switch to your small/fine glitter and apply it to the jar using the same method used in step two. You will want to make sure that every part of the jar is covered in glitter at the point. Pouring a large amount of the fine glitter into the jar and swishing it around is an easy way to evenly coat the jar. Once the jar is fully coated, shake out the excess glitter.

Step Four: Once your jar is coated, set it to dry. For quicker drying, place the jar by a window or use a blow dryer to speed up the process.

You will notice that once the Modge Podge begins to dry, it will turn from white to clear. Wait until all sections of the product have turned clear before using the jar.

Here is the finished product!

Note: If you are using your jar as a vase for live flowers, don’t apply water directly into the jar because Modge Podge is not water resistant. You can place a plastic baggie inside of jar to create a protective barrier before placing water and live flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and thank you for reading!

      Maria,

      They are super easy to make. It took about 10 minutes to create the jar. The longest part is waiting for it to dry, but you can speed it up by putting the jar in the sun (like I did) or using a hair dryer to speed up the process.

    I love the use of mason jars in the home for a country look. I use to make my candles in them.

    This looks so easy and looks like anyone could do this. We recently bought a house and I am trying to do things that the house will look a little more decorated. I love finding different projects like this to give the home a little touch of things I have done myself.

      Hello Mary!

      That’s the exact reason I created these sparkly little things. Buying a new house is so expensive, and I have been trying to find ways to create things that will make my home look nice, without breaking the bank.
