Chalk Painted Mason Jars

These are so fun.

Painted Ball Jars are great accent pieces for shelves and tables 

or they make fabulous storage containers.

I used ASCP (Annie Sloan Chalk Paint) in colors: Provence, Aubusson and Arles.

I applied 2 coats and then roughed them up with sandpaper.

I applied ASCP clear wax, as a protectant.

I buffed the wax with an old t-shirt to make them glossy.

The photo below is before I applied the wax and buffing...

They are pretty cool with a matte finish too.

You could achieve this look by using hemp oil as your protectant rather than wax 

or use the wax but don't buff it.
