DIY: Jam Jar Vases

A simple and fun way to decorate your house or bedroom with these cute 'Jam Jar Vases' They are easy to make and look pretty for this summer.

Steps:

- Remove the labels and glue residue from the jars, then wash and dry them.

- Stir the paint and pour a generous amount into the jars. Put on the lids of the jars and swirl the paint around until the interiors are evenly coated. Use a paintbrush to finish the inside of the rims.

- Pour the excess paint into a bowl and place the jars upside down on newspaper to dry – depending on the thickness of the paint, this can take up to 48 hours.

- Once the jars are dry, decorate with stick-on flowers. If you are going to use any of the jars as a vase for fresh flowers and fill it with water, make sure the paint isn’t water-soluble. Or place a plastic cup inside the jar and fill with water to prevent the inside of the jar becoming wet.         

Once they are dry put your favourite flowers inside of them and place around your home or in your bedroom x
