How to Paint Daisies on Mason Jars – Painted Daisy Mason Jar – How To Paint Daisies.
My mother loved daisies. And carnations.
I get the daisy love.
Not so much the carnations. 😉
After my mom passed away (with my father passing a month-and-a-half later) we had their ashes spread over the Atlantic Ocean via airplane.
Per their request.
Actually, their request was for us to just wade out into the ocean and sprinkle their ashes into the water ourselves.
Ummm … not even sure that’s legal in the state of Florida?
Also, ashes are a lot more voluminous and messier than you think. The idea of digging my hand into them and scooping out handfuls was … well … ick. And no.
So we opted for the Florida-state-approved spreading of ashes into the Atlantic from an airplane.
And as the plane flew past us (we on the beach, the plane over the water) we waved. We toasted. And we tossed daisy heads into the ocean.
I hope mom (& dad) loved it.
And I hope she forgives me for not including carnations. 🙂
And with my mom’s love of daisies in mind, I decided to paint some daisies on a mason jar.
Now I can’t take credit for this painted daisy art design. To be honest, I often find inspiration for painted mason jars designs from nail art. The surface shape is very similar, so the design often translates well onto mason jars.
From time to time, I Google nail art to see what’s out there. A few weeks ago, I Googled daisy nail art and this design popped up:
Upon closer inspection I noticed a creator stamp: 20nailstudio. They’re in Thailand. And here’s the Instagram link 20 Nail Studio. And here’s the Facebook page link.
I wanted to make sure to give credit where credit is due! 🙂
How to Make a Painted Daisy Mason Jar
Materials*
Pint Size (16oz) Regular Mouth Mason Jar
FolkArt Acrylic Paint in Cayman Blue, Titanium White
FolkArt Multi-Surface Paint in Wicker White
Multi-Surface Metallic Gold Paint
Paint Brushes
*includes affiliate links.
For this shade of blue, I mixed Cayman Blue paint with some acrylic white paint to lighten it a little bit.
Give your jar two coats of paint. I typically let it dry overnight between coats.
Once completely dry, distress with 80 grit sandpaper.
Using the FolkArt Wicker White Multi-Surface paint, add a white dot.
Add three more to form the daisy petals.
Add four smaller dots to form the stems.
Add gold dots to the centers of each daisy.
Once completely dry (I give it an overnight dry time), spray with a matte sealant.
Add daisies.
My mom’s favorite. 🙂
They came out so cute that I think I’ll have to list them at my Etsy shop!
Pin It!
