DIY mason jars

I've been messing around with mason jars and a splash of paint this week. They have so many uses....who would've thought?!! I can imagine rustic posies in these as a cheap vase alternative at vintage weddings. For the bottom photo I've added a few tablespoons of leftover house paint in the bottom of each jar, swirled it around and tipped it upside down to dry so that they are still glass on the outside. For my distressed mason jars (top photo) go to www.palmersplanet.co.nz for the full DIY instructions.
