DIY Black & Gold Mason Jar Vase

Not all DIY projects have to be super complicated with tons of supplies. This polka dotted vase took no time at all and only required TWO things!

We found the black mason jar at Joann’s (similar here) as well as a beautiful metallic gold paint pen. If you can’t find a black mason jar, you can either spray paint a clear mason jar with black paint OR fill the mason jar with  black paint, swirl it around, and let it dry upside down.

Hold the mason jar upside down and start dotting with the gold paint pen at the base. Concentrate the dots at the base, and have them diffuse as you work your way up the jar.

Let dry, and fill with your favorite flowers. This would make a great gift or even a pretty Fall wedding centerpiece. Don’t pack them up after Halloween! They will look great with your New Year’s Eve decor as well 🙂

Supplies: cupcake liners, glue, and baker’s twine.

The best place to find colorful (and affordable) cupcake liners are at craft stores and places like Marshall’s or TJMaxx. They have tons of super cute designs like these multi-colored polka dot liners that we snagged for $1.99!

Directions:
1. Flatten a cupcake liner by pressing out starting from the center, all the way around.
2. Flip the liner over and fold it in half with the design on the outside.
3. Lay out the baker’s twine (or whatever string you choose) and fold the cupcake liners around it where you’d like them to go.
4. Glue the folded liners together making sure the string is securely in the crease.
5. Let dry completely and hang your garland!
