Bobbi Jo Nichols commented on Aug 20 11 at 2:17 amI too love spray paint and have so many extras that I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I too am going to do the mason jars. That is so clever and I can’t believe that I have never seen it before. TOO CUTE!! Hugs, Bobbi Jo
Sarah commented on Aug 22 11 at 7:53 pmI clicked over here from craftgawker and I love all the spraypaint ideas! It was fun to see my candle holder spraypaint makeover on here too! Thanks for including my project :)
Sue S commented on Aug 30 11 at 11:36 amI love these mason jars! Love the color it really makes the flowers pop. Did you have to prepare the jar before spraying to get the paint to stick? Is this a high gloss spray? what brand is the best one to use.?
can you email me back at the email address I provided ?
Thanks ! Have a creative day!
craftyamy commented on Aug 30 11 at 9:03 pmHi Sue! I actually didn’t do this project – the link is below the image (here it is: http://www.joyshope.com/2011/04/ode-to-spray-paint.html). I would visit the post – there are instructions there and it shows the spray paint she used. Thanks for visiting!
