Spray Painted Jars

I decided to change up our guest bathroom a bit and wanted to spray paint a few jars for the new decor.
I started out with this jar
Then I looked in the fridge and found a couple more jars..
I spray painted them Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze (2-3 coats)
Hot glued some twine around the mouth of the jar and I was done!
The two smaller jars have become tea light holders for my new beach themed bathroom (more on that later)
The large jar is going to be my new flower vase
You all know how I love quick and easy projects, and this is definitely one of them!
I’m excited about redecorating our guest bathroom. The next few weeks I have finals, but hopefully I can continue working on it and have time to show you the progress as it comes together. Thanks for stopping by!

    How cute! I are in the middle of buying our first home and the color scheme of this house -although I love- does not match our furniture.

    I love finding easy and CHEAP projects like this one to help me decorate.

    I already see one in my kitchen, and both bathrooms lol.

    I'm saving this one!

    A great idea very cute:)I am following you now from the Welcome Wednesday blog hop:) Hope you will check out my blog too and follow along:)

  60. Ally says:

    Brilliant! They look terrific. I always feel bad throwing away or recycling empty glass jars from mayo or gravy or whatever else we eat that comes in glass jars. I can just never think of crafts to use them for. Spray painting them is such a great idea. And the twine to cover up the top is really smart. A cute ribbon would look good too. Thanks for the idea. These look terrific!

  61. Krista says:

    Those are really lovely. Is there anything spray paint can't do?

    I'm totally doing this!
    I just started a linky party this past Tuesday. It was a great success with over 50 link ups! I would love it if you would participate next week! It's called $10 Tuesdays and it's for things that cost less than $10 and take 20-30 mins (ish) to complete. I love inexpensive and quick projects and I'm guessing others will too ;) Thanks so much for considering.
