Supplies

• Scissors
• Jute Twine
• Paint Brush
• Wooden Stars (from Dollar Tree)
• Star Napkins (from Dollar Tree)
• Mod Podge

Instructions

Follow these simple instructions to make your patriotic jars!

Paint The Jars

Apply 2 coats of White Chalk Paint to one jar, and 2 coats of the Red Chalk Paint to another jar.

Allow the jars to dry for about 30 minutes in between coats to make sure they are fully dry before moving on.

Adhere Napkin to Jar

For the third jar, we’re using a decorative napkin from the dollar store instead of paint.

Tear one of the napkins in half so it is about the size of the jar, and will wrap around it nicely. There is a blue star print on the top and a white piece on the bottom that you will not need.

Apply a thin coat of the mod podge to the remaining jar and slowly put the piece of napkin on top.

Where it will overlap in the back apply a little bit of the mod podge to seal it down.

Once the napkin is on the jar, apply a thin coat of mod podge on top to seal it.

Add Jute Twine Decoration

When all of the jars are completely dry, wrap jute twine around the top for the desired look.

Add Star Decoration

Finally, string on the wooden stars and make a knot to secure them to the jars.

Finally, add some flowers, dry flowers, or any filler you like to the jars!
