Football Party Mason Jars

Football Party Mason Jars – Football Party Ideas with Mason Jars.

Football Party Mason Jars

Can we talk Super Bowl? Or, more accurately, Super Bowl parties …

 

I’ll admit I’m not much for game watching. However, I do enjoy the ad watching. And the half time show antics and mishaps (can you say left shark?).  And then there’s the food. Definitely worth all the game day hype.

 

Now, if we left it up to the guys it would be paper plates and paper towel napkins. But us women? Yeah, we like to throw a Super Bowl party with a real theme …

 

with themed crafts to decorate that game day table. Like these adorable football party mason jars. Painted and distressed and ready to decorate any football game day party table!

Tape vertical stripes on jar. I used washi tape (can be found at any craft store) because I like the width. You can also use painter’s tape.

Tape off thread lines. I used these 1/4″ wound closure strips. You could always cut painter’s tape or washi tape to size.

Then I painted one coat of brown and let dry overnight. Once the tape was removed, I touched up the paint. Once dry (overnight) I distressed with 80 grit sandpaper.

Finish them all with a clear coat sealant.

And that’s it. They make great holders for straws and utensils – or fill with flowers or pennants and used as a centerpiece!

      They’re from an Etsy shop. Just search either football straws or game day straws.

    Love these! I don’t have much experience with Mason jars…did the jars you used have an ornate design on the back side and measurement numbers on each side? Not sure I bought the right ones or if a smaller version (I got the quart sized ones) won’t have the extra “stuff” on it. Thanks!

      I actually use the smaller (pints) with all the “stuff” on them. I like that you can see that and I use sandpaper and distress the areas where the “stuff” is to give them a rustic look. It also helps to forgive some painting mistakes too! 🙂

    Trying get these and my paint seems a lot thinner than the paint you used. Did you do multiple coats of primer and acrylic paint?

      I definitely used two think coats of primer on the jars. As for the thickness of the paint, I do find that sometimes the paint can be thinner or thicker depending on the brand used (Folk Art tends to be thicker). I also don’t mind some brush marks on the jars because I think they give them a more folksy, handmade look. But you can add a second coat if you want a thicker look. It’s all personal preference! 🙂

    So creative and so adorable! I appreciate the links for each item too. The link for the Folk Art Acrylic Green Paint isn’t working. Are you able to tell me the specific green you used? Thank you!

    Hi! Did the Kilz primer work ok with these? I read to not use on glass.
    Thanks!

      Sorry for the late response. Yes, Kilz works. I also seal all the jars when I’m finished.
