Easter Mason Jars Video

If you want to see just how to make these Easter jars, just watch the video below.

Can’t watch the video or missed some of the steps? We have step-by-step instructions below as well.

Start by making sure your jars are clean and dry. Then, use a pallet knife or craft stick to apply the dimensional craft paste to the outside of the jar. Use a medium to heavy coat making sure to cover the entire jar.

Once your entire jar is covered, pull the comb through the craft paste to create a basket-like effect. Do this over the entire jar so that your entire jar has a texture.

I recommend using an old comb for this that you are going to keep in your craft room as you don’t want to use it for anything else after using it for crafting.

Once your jar is completely covered and texturized, set it aside to dry completely overnight. Once dry, you are ready to paint the jar in any color that you like.

Just add the paint with a paintbrush all over the jar. I found that one coat was fine but you can add two if you feel it needs it. Then allow the paint to dry completely.

Once everything is dry, add a ribbon around the top. Tie into place and trim any excess with scissors.
