Speckled Easter Egg Jar Centerpiece
Start out with a clean glass jar and give it two coats of light blue acrylic paint. (Tip; If you spray a jar with hairspray and let dry it seems to help acrylic paint adhere to the glass easier).
Once dry take a toothbrush dipped in water and shake off excess water, then dip in burnt umber. Splatter the burnt umber over the jar by hold about 8-10 inches from the jar and pull your finger back over the bristles of the toothbrush. Continue until the jar is covered with specks of burnt umber.
Let dry then add a coat of Mod Podge to seal and protect the jar.
Drop some Styrofoam balls into the jar.
Then add some Spanish moss on top of that. (I got ahead of myself here when taking pictures and had to go back and splatter the jar).

Next, start adding the Easter egg picks by placing them into the Styrofoam balls. Push them into the speckled Easter egg jar centerpiece where they are standing at different heights.
Tie a piece of twine around the neck of the jar.
You can add a faux sprig of greenery or flowers as well by sticking the stems down into the balls.
There you have it! An easy DIY speckled Easter egg jar centerpiece that can be placed on your table or a mantle mixed in with your other cute Easter décor. What have you been working on for Easter?

So sweet Linda and it can it be used in so many different ways too. I can just picture the speckled jar in a pretty, ladylike powder room filled with makeup brushes or even some flowers. And thanks a mil for the tip on spraying the jar with hairspray first. I have to try that. The paints I use never seem to stick properly to the glass.
Thank you Michelle! That’s a great idea and would be pretty. I hope the hair spray tip helps. I have found it helps plus making sure each coat dry thoroughly before adding the next.
Beautiful project idea! I like the look of robin’s eggs and it doesn’t disappoint on this jar!
Thank you Audra! I was pretty happy with how the jar turned out! Thanks for stopping by!
Linda I really love that speckled effect you did on the jar. I need to get my act together this year I have done nothing for Easter. Shame on me. But your proejcts are so easy to do I will have to try at least one.
Thanks Mary! This was an easy one, and I finally got my butt in gear and got a few things made for the holiday. LOL
This is adorable Linda I was curious about how you made the specs. Who knew a toothbrush could do the trick! And thanks for the hairspray tip!
Thank you Christina! I learned the splattering trick at a paint class I took years ago. Sometimes it really makes a big difference in the look. 🙂
