Frosted Mason Jars
Mason jars are so beautiful in their own rustic way. There are so many ways you can recycle glass jars. Mason Jars in particular can be useful to store craft supplies, hold flowers, dispense soap, or use as illuminaries.
These Classico Sauce
jars are my favorite.
I have a cupboard full because I know I’ll find a place for all of them! I decided to try frosting a few to see how they would turn out.  Here is what I did.
First clean and rinse your jars with soap and water (that is, after you eat the sauce!). To remove the label, soak them in warm soapy water for about an hour. Jars may vary with soaking time. Most labels come off very easy. Use the rough side of a sponge to gently scrub off the label.
Next, dry each Mason jar thoroughly.
If desired, you can use stickers or decals to create a design. I used simple curling ribbon
and wrapped the jar, securing it with tape
.
Spray paint
the jars in a well-ventilated area holding the can approximately 12 inches away. Allow them to dry.
Remove the ribbon, sticker(s), or decal(s). There you have it!
So easy! Mix them with unfrosted jars and insert tea lights for a pretty glow or consider making mason jar centerpieces for a wedding. Just add flowers!

Very pretty!
Thank you!
This would make a great centerpiece idea for the holidays. You can out flowers in some, and candles in the others.
Yes! I think the frosted look is great for winter!
what are you using to spray on the jars – i’d like to try this for wedding table decorations
Hi Betty! I can’t believe I neglected to write that in the post! 😉 Krylon makes a Frosted Glass Finish spray paint. It comes in white (what I used) or pearl gray. You can purchase it at any craft store or here: http://www.krylon.com/products/frosted_glass_finish/ Send me pictures if you end up doing it! I would love to post them 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!
Do you have any idea on how I can make color frosted jars? I tried one DIY online and it didn’t work. I’m trying to make frosted jars for bath salts.
I’m not sure! I know how to color the jars but not make them frosted. Here’s the link: https://diyinspired.com/diy-colored-glass-tutorial/
