May 24, 2019 by Kelly 63 Comments

This post contains affiliate links and/or images. This DIY Rustic Patriotic Painted Mason Jars Craft is the perfect centerpiece for your next BBQ, picnic or party and cost less than $15, flowers included!

DIY Rustic Patriotic Painted Mason Jars Craft

My daughter and I love to do crafts together, but when she is in school we never had time. This means we need to find crafts that don’t take a ton of time to make or cost a lot. This painted mason jars craft fits all the criteria! 

This DIY Rustic Patriotic Painted Mason Jars Craft is the perfect centerpiece for your next BBQ, picnic or party and cost less than $15, flowers included!

A Versatile Craft

Not only do these Patriotic Painted Mason Jars make for a cute centerpiece, they can also be used as a pencil holder, a vase or filled with your favorite candy!

An Inexpensive Craft

For this craft, we got the mason jars at Walmart. They came in a box of 9 for $9,  the acrylic paint was $.50 and the flowers were BOGO at the craft store for $5. If you want to use chalky paint, that will cost you $2.49 per bottle.

mason jars and supplies

What you will need for your Patriotic Painted Mason Jars:

  • (3) mason jars
  • Chalky finish or acrylic paint (red, white and blue)
  • Foam brushes
  • Painters tape
  • Sandpaper (optional for distressing)
  • Spray matte finish clear coat
  • Star stencil or template (printed from Internet)

You can order your supplies for this DIY Rustic Patriotic Painted Mason Jars Craft from Amazon by clicking the links below:

white mason jars

Step 1: Clean your mason jars and paint 3-4 coats of the white paint. Allow to dry completely. This paint dries pretty fast, so 20 minutes or so in between coats should be fine.

taped mason jars

Step 2: Using painters tape, mark off the stripes on 2 of the jars. Press down nice and firm so there are no bubbles or places where the paint may bleed.

Paint 2-3 coats of your red over the exposed white areas. Allow to dry the same amount of time as above for the white paint.

star template

Step 3: Once the blue jar has dried completely, take your star template (I printed mine on cardstock so the paint didn’t bleed through the paper) and paint white stars all over the blue jar.

Distressing Is Easy

If you are going to distress your Patriotic Painted Mason Jars, just take your sandpaper and gently rub over the raised areas of the mason jar.

Sealing Your Finish Is Crucial

To secure your finish, use a clear spray sealant or a soft touch varnish, which also gives the matte look. If using the varnish, once it dries, use a clean white cloth and buff.
