Mason Jar Vases {Gift Idea}

 I came across the idea for these vases on Pinterest a few weeks ago {here’s the original post}.  I was thinking they would make great Teacher Appreciation gifts but I ran out of time so I decided to make them for Mother’s Day gifts instead.Supplies:
Mason Jars
Spray{I used the color Robin’s Egg}
Craft Paint
Burlap
Twine {or ribbon}
A stencil {purchased or made by you}
Paint for the stencil
Foam brush
Glue gun

The first thing I did was spray paint the Mason Jars.  While they were drying I cut my own stencil, using my Silhouette.  I decided on hearts because the vases were for Mother’s Day but the stencil could be anything you want!

Next I cut the burlap so that it would fit around the jar and I placed the stencil on top of it.

 

Using craft paint and a foam brush I painted the stencil onto the burlap.

 

 

 

 Voila!  I love the gold hearts. 🙂

 

 

 Then using my glue gun I glued the burlap to the Mason jars.

 

 

 After the glue had dried I wrapped twine around the jar and tied it into a bow.

 

 

Then Malea and I took a walk over to the neighbor’s house and picked some pretty flowers for our vases.

 

 

 

I gave these to my Step-mom and Mother-in-Law for Mother’s Day but these would make a great gift for any occasion.  I’ve actually been thinking about making some for myself!
