Where are my fall color fans?? These mason jars turned rustic vases are done in fall shades of green, red and yellow.
This great sized mason jars come filled with spaghetti sauce and make a perfect vase. I run thru the dishwasher once emptied. Check out one I did in turquoise and copper patina. It is a favorite color combo.
Many chalk paints claim you can just paint over any surface but to have better adherence I brushed on a coat of Dixie
Belle Slick Stick and let dry well. I did the bottom and inside the rim as well.
I chose 3 ; juniper, merlot and pumpkin spice. I did 2 jars of each color bottom and inside rim painted as well. And two coats of each color were brushed on letting dry between coats.
The 3 colors sealed up.
Then Dixie Belle Gilding Wax in copper and bronze. A wee bit of the gold was added too. They layer beautifully and bring out the designs so well.
The metallic colors add a worn weathered look to the vases.
I love them, how about you?

The riser serving tray under the vases is done in the other 2 fall colors; latte and cashmere.
Which is your favorite color?

I just ordered the juniper. I can't wait to use it.ntje Merlot looks really pretty. I can't tell if it is like a burgundy or is it like Rusty Nail?
ReplyDeleteI like the juniper for sure, the merlot is very 80's rusty red if that makes sense
