Directions
- Paint the outside of the mason jars with chalk paint.
- Let the paint dry, brush on a thin coat of polycrylic, and let that dry too.
- Tape off the bottom of each jar and spray the bottom gold.
- Lightly sand the raised “Ball” lettering for a worn look.
- Paint the jar ring the same gold. Attach the handle so you can hang the jar.

Notes
Jars have no drainage holes; the rocks are the only drainage, so don’t overwater. Spray paint outdoors.
