🌸🐝 Buzzworthy Craft of the Day: DIY Decoupaged Mason Jar Flower Vase 🐝🌸

Hey y’all! 🐝🌸 If you’ve got a plain ol’ mason jar just sitting around feeling a little left out, let’s give it a glow-up! Today, we’re diving into one of my favorite quick and charming crafts: a Decoupaged Mason Jar Flower Vase. It’s perfect for adding a little personality to your space without spending a fortune and it’s as easy as sweet tea on a summer day.

Grab your glue and get ready to create something beautiful! 🪶✨

What You’ll Need:

• Mason jar (any size you like) 🫙

• Mod Podge (or your favorite decoupage glue) 🧴

• Pretty napkins, tissue paper, or scrapbook paper (you know, the ones you’ve been hoarding) 📜

• Foam brush or paintbrush 🖌️

• Scissors ✂️

• Clear acrylic sealant (optional) 🌟

• Ribbon or twine (for that extra touch of charm) 🎀

• Fresh or faux flowers to finish it off 🌷

First things first, lay down some newspaper or a craft mat because things might get a little sticky! 🧼 Make sure your mason jar is clean and dry. Trust me, glue and dust don’t make good friends.

This is where you get to be creative. 🎨 Cut your chosen paper into strips, squares, or little shapes. If you’re using napkins, peel away any extra layers so you’re left with just the pretty part.

Christy’s Tip: If your paper has a floral or patterned design, cut out individual flowers or patterns to make your vase really pop! 💐🐝

1. Use your foam brush to paint a thin layer of Mod Podge on a small section of the jar. 🖌️

2. Gently press your paper piece onto the glued spot. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with your fingers. We’re aiming for pretty, not perfect! 💕

3. Keep adding more pieces, slightly overlapping them for that artsy patchwork effect.

4. Once you’ve covered the whole jar, brush another thin layer of Mod Podge over the paper to seal it all in.

Christy’s Tip: Don’t worry if it looks a little cloudy at first—the glue dries clear and gorgeous! 🌟

Set your jar aside and let it dry completely. 🕰️ It usually takes about an hour, but it’s worth the wait. If you’re feeling fancy, go ahead and add a second coat for extra durability.

Optional: Once everything’s dry, spray your jar with a clear acrylic sealant to give it a shiny, polished finish. ✨

Tie a ribbon or some twine around the neck of the jar to give it that sweet, rustic look. 🎀 Pop in your favorite flowers, real or faux, and just like that, you’ve got yourself a charming little vase that looks like it came straight from a Southern boutique. 🌼

Final Touch: Set it on your windowsill, dining table, or even your desk to brighten up your space. I promise, it’ll make you smile every time you walk by. 😊🐝

Why You’ll Love It:

Not only is this craft easy on the wallet, but it’s also a great way to repurpose jars you already have. Plus, it’s practically foolproof—no crafting disasters here! 💪🐝
