Can you believe how easy that is? There’s no reason not to make your own!
For those that can’t view the video, start with a mason jar that has a raised design. Use a foam brush to apply a chalk finish paint over the surface of the jar and let it dry thoroughly-depending on your paint you may want to do more than one coat. Once the paint is totally dry use a sanding block to lightly rub over the raised design to distress the jar. That’s it! Super easy right?

I love this idea and have done my own. Personally I had a problem with the sandpaper not working….maybe too much paint. However, nail polish remover on a cotton ball worked just as well.
Happy crafting!

I am sure the video was of big help to those wanting to try to distress mason jars.
My concern is the captioning. It was terrible- i mean terrible. This needs to be changed.
No deaf or hard of hearing person would be able to follow the captioning…have a look yourself –
its simply terrible!! Please change,

You’re totally right Kim-that is an auto function of YouTube and I have no control over how it shows up, I’m very sorry about that. I’ve updated the blog post to include written instructions as well.
