DIY Chalk Paint Recipe

  • 1 TBSP baking soda
  • 2 TBSP acrylic paint (the ratio is always 2 to 1)

I ended up using 2 TBSP baking soda and 4 TBSP paint mixed together to cover the whole jar. The important thing to remember is that the ratio is always 2 parts paint to 1 part soda.

Ratio = 2 parts paint to 1 part baking soda

 

Instructions:

 

Mix baking soda and paint together.
Mix together the baking soda and acrylic paint.

 

The first thing to do to get started is to mix together the baking soda and the acrylic paint. It will be a thicker consistency, which is just what you want. Mix really well.

 

Painting a mason jar with acrylic paint
Paint the mason jar and be sure to let it dry completely before adding another coat.

 

Next paint the mason jar, allowing for time to dry between coats. The drying time is important!

If you don’t wait long enough the paint will come off in sections when it is drying. I applied 3 coats of the yellow paint, making sure to also paint the top of the jar.

Tip: Let the paint dry completely before adding another coat!

Use Jute Twine for a Country Touch

After the jar has been painted and is completely dry, it’s time to start wrapping your jute twin around the top of the jar. I wrapped it many times until the top of the jar was covered. Finish it off by tying the leftover string in a simple bow.

 

Use a Qtip and paint to paint daisies on mason jar.

Next using the Q-tip and Waverly white chalk paint, dip the top of the Q-tip into the paint and make a small circle on the jar (just dabbing it on will leave an open space in the middle of the dab).

 

Painting white circles to make a daisy on the jar.
Create little daisies on the mason jar, making as many as you like.

 

Then add 3 more circles with the Q-tip to create the daisy. Keep doing this around the jar until you have your desired look.

Tip: Don’t just dab; make an actual circle!

 

Allow to dry completely. Add some greenery and flowers and set it on display.

More Ways to Use Chalk Painted Mason Jars
 

Even though these jars would look beautiful on their own, here are a couple more ways you can use these DIY mason jar projects. Add a hanging string or wire to the jar and then hang from a wall bracket like this one for some country style wall decor.

Drop a tea light or a short thick jar candle inside, light it and you’ve got the perfect farmhouse style candle holders.

These pretty daisy mason jars would also look perfect at a farmhouse wedding – you could use 3 painted jars of different size on each guest table. Paint them using your wedding colours and then fill with wild flowers. Add a few tealights and a bit of fresh greenery and you’ve got a very pretty table center piece!
