Baseball Uniform Mason Jar

Baseball Mason Jar Craft Idea: Cubs Uniform Mason Jar

I’m a Chicago Cubs fan.

 

I know, I know. They have a sad track record. But I’m ever hopeful. 

 

We live less than a mile from Wrigley Field. And during baseball season, our neighborhood is bustling with Cubs blue-and-red-clad fans. All hopeful that this year will be our year. And all excited to spend the day in Wrigleyville.

 

It’s truly an amazing ballpark and neighborhood. I dare anyone to have a bad time at Wrigley. Even with rain delays.

 

My hopeful this-is-the-year contribution is this Cubs uniform mason jar craft.

HOW TO MAKE A BASEBALL UNIFORM MASON JAR

 

Mason Jar Craft Idea: Baseball Uniform Mason Jar

1. Start with 2 coats of white paint. I used Rust-Oleum’s new Chalked paint. Acrylic craft paint works too.

2. After paint dries for 24 hours, distress with 80 grit sandpaper. Focus on raised type.

3. Using a paint pen, draw a line around the upper rim (just under the threads)

4. Freehand draw vertical lines using paint pen.

5. Continue free-handing vertical stripes around jar.

6. Glue small buttons to jar. I used a quick dry Loctite glue that I found at Michaels.

7. I added 4 buttons. I also found stickers at Wrigley Sports that were the perfect size for my jersey and cap decal.

8. Speaking of the baseball cap, I used card stock and followed this excellent tutorial (click here) to make mine.

    I am a die-hard Cubs fan from the southwest suburbs! Love this jar and will be trying it soon. Wouldn’t it be cute to put a player’s number on, too? Like 44 for Rizzo or 17 for Bryant! And forget the goat … FOREVER! Only White Sox fans care about that dumb curse, and let them have it!!!! GO CUBS!

      My husband said the same thing about numbers on the back. He immediately went to Ernie Banks! 🙂 And, in fact, he and my son just headed out to the door today’s Cubs game!

    My boyfriend is a diehard Cubs fan. This will make a great craft for a gift, wonder if there is way to make it washable so he can use it as a glass? Any ideas?

      I wouldn’t recommend using it as a glass. The paint used is water soluble (and not recommended for ingestion!). Any medium used that could permanently adhere to glass will certainly be toxic! My only suggestion is to not paint along the rim and then use a straw. But there will be challenge with cleaning it out. Even with a coat of clear sealant which certainly helps to keep the paint in place, it’s still water soluble so not technically a permanent. One other idea: I find that using a white primer (Zinsser) and chalk based paints (Annie Sloan, Amy Howard, Rustoleum, Americana Chalk Base Craft Paint) does form a much stronger bond with the glass. Again, I would avoid painting around the top rim to keep it safe. Hope that helps! 🙂

        What size Mason jar did you use? I love the proportion, but couldn’t tell if it was a pint jar or the larger 1 1/2 pint jar.

        Thanks!
