Having a French-themed wedding? This French script mason jar vase is the perfect DIY wedding idea for you. All you need is a mason jar, a favorite quote, and Americana Chalky Paint to get started.
It is time once again for Crafty Hangouts week, and I am kicking things off with my French script mason jar vase. This week’s hangouts are sponsored by DecoArt and their amazing Americana Chalky Finish Paint. I am joining Carolina from 30 Minute Crafts for my videos, and first up, we are crafting with mason jars. Your not surprised, are you?
This mason jar vase is perfect for a French-themed or Parisian wedding!
Looking for other vase ideas? This photo centerpiece vase, fairy light lantern, felt decorated jars, and fall-painted mason jars are all great ways to use a mason jar centerpiece at a wedding!
Fill with fresh flowers, pick up beautiful artificial flowers from your local craft store and make your own arrangement, or for an extra special touch, make the flowers at home. I’ve made easy flowers with felt, paper, and tissue paper, and they all would be perfect for this project! You can even make them with your Cricut!
How to Make a French Script Mason Jar Vase
Supplies:
Watch the video below or follow along with the written instructions.
To make the French script mason jar vase apply the Americana Chalky Paint all over the outside of the jar. Please note that you need a smooth jar with no logo for this project.
Allow the jar to dry completely before continuing with this project. After the jar is dry, you can begin sketching your quote onto the jar with a pencil. I used a premade stencil.
If you have amazing handwriting, I would suggest you translate a quote you love and write it on the jar in French. That would make these French script mason jar vases extra special.
After you’ve penciled in the quote, trace it over with a Sharpie pen. The fine-tip pens work best for this type of project.
Now, all you need to do is add water and flowers to your French script mason jar vase for a great wedding reception centerpiece at your wedding. What quote will you use?
