This week I am throwing a Fall themed Relief Society party. Everything for the party has to do with this time of year. The desserts are all made with Apple, Pumpkin and other fall flavors. The decorations for the room are all items that I have hanging around my house except for the table decorations, I made them myself. Chances are the table decorations I made are created with items you already have around your house. They are easy to make and a lot of fun. Here is how to start the project.
Items You Will Need:
Mason Jars(However many you want to make)
Paint(I used Mustard Yellow and a rustic Orange color)
Sanding Block
Paint Brush
Dark Glaze
To Create the Jars:
First, take each jar and clean them so they are sparkling clean. If you are like me your jars were covered in dust, this will cause your paint to have little chunks in it. Make sure your jars are washed and dried before painting them.
Next, use your paint to paint your jars. I did a first coat and then went back and did a second coat after they were all dry.
After your paint is completely dry, take your sanding block and give the jar a vintage look. You can distress your jar a lot or a little depending on how you like it.
After you are done sanding, take out an old rag & apply your dark Glaze to the jar. Rub it all over. If you have never used Glaze before, it is done by applying a coat & wiping the excess off until you get the color you want.
Once your Glaze is dry your jars are ready to use. I cut some long grass out of my flower beds to fill my jars. After placing the grass in the jars I filled the jars up with water. The long grass in my jars has looked like this for two weeks now, I think it will stay good all the way through Thanksgiving.
I just love how these table decorations turned out and can’t wait to use them for my party. They were so inexpensive to make and turned out so cute! Use them for your upcoming Holiday and Thanksgiving parties.
