Project Supply List
First, I started out with two clean glass jars.
Using blue chalk paint, I gave the first jar two coats of paint, letting each coat dry thoroughly.
For the second jar, I used white chalk paint and gave it two coats of paint letting each coat dry thoroughly.
Back to the first jar white I was using the white chalk paint I stenciled the stars onto the blue jar.
Now back to the white jar I added my red stripes. I just free handed them on, but you could use some blue painters tape if you wanted.
Once both jars were completely dry I added some watered down antiquing medium to tone down the colors and to give the jars and aged look.
Next, I lightly distressed each jar with fine sandpaper, to add to the aged distressed look that I was seeking.
That’s it!
