Turn Mason Jars Into Cute Home Décor (Part 2)
Many homeowners are unaware of the various uses of Mason jars outside the kitchen. Ever thought that a mason jar could be used as a toothbrush holder or as an air freshener?
Well, if you want to give your home a new touch, have a look at how simple mason jars can be integrated into your home’s décor.
Beautiful Stained Glass Mason Jars
What you’ll need:
- White, red blue and yellow colored gallery glass paint
- Black liquid leading
- Gallery glass peel
- Stick lead lining
Instructions to make the Beautiful Stained Glass Mason Jars
Step 1: You start by mapping out your Mondrian pattern and for that, you’ll need to use the gallery glass peel and stick lead lining. And, don’t worry, the cutting part is really easy –forget a butter knife, you can even cut it using your fingernails.
Step 2: Now, use the black liquid leading to fill in all the gaps between the lead lines. You can start applying directly to the bottom’s tip.
Step 3: Once you’ve done applying, allow the liquid leading to dry.
Step 4: Once the leading has dried, start applying the gallery glass colors. All the bottles usually have small tips so you can just start applying directly from the jar.
Note: In this stage, you need to be very careful when applying the colors. Adding too much can ruin your project.
Step 5: Once you’ve applied the first coat, let it dry and then proceed to add a second coat of each color.
Step 6: Let the paint dry. If you want to add another coat or two, it’s completely up to you. And, once the jar is ready, you can add a scented candle inside.

Air Freshener
What you’ll need:
- Air freshener beads
- Some artificial flowers
- A painted jar
Instructions to make the Beautiful Stained Glass Mason Jars
Step 1: You start by gathering all the supplies you need. And, for the painted jar, I suggest using chalk paint to paint the whole Mason jar.
Step 2: Take all the air freshener beads you have and pour them all in the jar. Oh and do yourself a favor and do this over a sink if you don’t want to end up with a disaster.
Step 3: Now, add all the artificial flowers you have inside the jar.
