Hi PinkWhen friends, it’s Cindy from Little Miss Celebration. Mother’s Day is around the corner! My Mom loves handmade gifts. Today, I’m sharing an easy project that makes a great gift for Mom – Paint & Sparkle Mason Vanity Jars. Jazz up her vanity with these beautiful jars, perfect to store cotton balls, brushes, small beauty products or whatever she likes to keep close at hand.
Here’s what you need for each jar:
- One pint-sized Mason jar
- DecoArt glossy or multi-surface paint in your choice of color
- Paintbrush
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Stickles Glitter Glue to match or coordinate with your paint color
- One yard of ribbon
- One pre-finished, fancy Mason jar lid, from Michaels
Paint & Sparkle Mason Vanity Jars
If you’ve never painted glass before, it’s really very easy! First, wipe the entire outer surface of the jar with a paper towel saturated with isopropyl alcohol and let dry. Use a light touch with the paintbrush to completely paint the outer surface of the jar. Don’t worry if the first coat doesn’t look great! Add 2-3 light coats of paint, until you have the coverage you want, letting the paint dry between coats. Once you are finished painting, it’s time to bake the jars to make the paint permanent. Place the jars on a cookie sheet into a cold oven. Turn the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the jars cool completely in the oven. Now, your jars are permanently painted!
Now, to add some sparkle! Turn the jars upside down and use Stickles glitter glue to add swirly lines around the jars. Add as much or little sparkle as you like! Let the glitter glue dry completely.

I painted three jars in gold, blue and white, and used matching Stickles glitter glue on each jar. To unify the jars, I used a black and white striped ribbon tied around the middle of the jar into a bow. Add the gorgeous lids and your jars are done!
My Mom is still ALL about her beauty products and I know she’ll love these! These can make a great gift for our girlfriends, daughters and of course, don’t you think we also need a set for ourselves??
