SUPPLIES FOR SUMMER FRUIT MASON JARS

- Sharpie
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Painters tape (optional)
HOW TO MAKE SUMMER FRUIT MASON JARS
WATERMELON MASON JAR
- Paint the bottom 1/3 of a mason jar with the green acrylic paint. Let dry. You can use painters tape to tape off the bottom of the jar as shown below. However, when I did this, the painters tape pulled some of the paint off the jar when I removed the tape. So if using painters tape, I recommend removing the tape when the paint is still wet.
- Paint the top 2/3 of the mason jar with pink acrylic paint. Let dry
- Using the Sharpie, draw teardrop shaped “seeds” on the pink portion of the mason jar.
PINEAPPLE MASON JAR
- Paint the entire mason jar with yellow acrylic paint. Let dry
- Using the Sharpie, draw small “v” shapes on the yellow portion to resemble the “scales” of the pineapple.
- Cut the green cardstock into a fringe and attach it to the lid with hot glue to resemble the “spikes”
Bend the “spikes” outward by curling them with your fingers or rolling them with a pencil.
