Repurposed Mason Jar Set And Tray with Fall Colors

Repurposing Mason jars can be so much fun! You can find so many awesome repurposed Mason jar projects on Pinterest, or even in a Google search.

So when I found this little metal tray at the thrift shop I knew exactly what I was going to make.

A 3 piece repurposed Mason jar bathroom storage set.

How to Make a Repurposed Mason Jar Set

First off I spray painted the metal tray with the Hammered Rust-oleum spray paint. (I use it in lots of projects, love the stuff).

For the Mason jars I gave them a dose of the rust-oleum spray paint too, lids and all. (told you I loved the stuff, no it’s really so it will show through my top coats).

For each jar I mixed some of my regular acrylic paints with some antique white chalk paint that I had. (I chose these colors because two of them match my granite bathroom counter top, and the green I just threw in because I liked it and thought that it would go well with the other two).

I applied 3 light coats per jar. Once dry I lightly sanded the jars over the raised areas till my rust-oleum paint showed through.

I added the vintage knobs to the mason jar lids with gorilla glue (a little bit goes a long ways, and it takes quite awhile to dry). Next time I think I’ll try a different glue.

Lastly I added a coat of Mod Podge for protection (great stuff).

The 3 Mason jars fit perfectly in the little metal tray, and I love how my newly repurpsed mason jar set turned out.

Have you repurposed any old Mason jars lately?
