Instructions to Make a Painted Mason Jar Snowman
3.
Stick the tape ovals/circles onto one side of the Mason jar.
Ideally use the flattest surface you’re free to find.
Stick on two ovals for eyes and two for the buttons.
Press the tape down firmly at the edges.
Paint the entire Mason jar using white paint.
While it provides great coverage, the DecoArt Multi-Surface satin take quite a while to dry.
confirm the first coat is fully dried and then apply a second (and third) coat if needed.
Once completely dry (e.g.
a couple of hours later), carefully remove the masking tape ovals.
If your paint isnt completely dry, the white paint may peel off of the glass.
Using black, paint pupils onto the oval eyes.
Have them towards one side of the eyes as if hes looking to the side.
Let dry and paint a second coat as needed.
While the black paint is drying, outline the buttons using green paint.
Paint irises onto the outer sides of the eyes using blue paint.
Let dry and paint a second coat if needed.
Paint the Mason jar lid black.
This will likely need a few coats with plenty of drying time between each coat.
And there you go!
Your adorable Mason Jar Snowman is done and ready to be filled with sweet treats!
