Just as the name implies, this craft is a mason jar painted and distressed then attached to a piece of pallet board.
The first thing I did ( or shall I say my husband Bill did) was get a pallet and take it apart, then cut 10" pieces.
I then sanded, stained, and sealed them with a waterbase sealant.
Drill holes in the top with my drill press.
I also drilled 2 holes about 5 inches from the bottom for the wire to go through.
For the jar I picked out a color of chalk paint I wanted to use and painted the jar with 3 coats, letting the jar dry completely between coats
When the jar is dry take a piece of sand paper and distress it to your liking.
Okay the two pieces are ready to be married together.
You will need a piece of wire maybe about 12 inches long. Wrap the wire around the jar and criss cross wires at back and put through 2 holes drilled earlier.
This is the hardest part, take a pair of needle nose pliers and twist the two pieces of wire together until good and tight.
