A Shamrock Mason Jar {with a Printable Tag}

You know what’s perfect for any holiday?  A painted mason jar.  Am I right?  This shamrock mason jar just takes a few strokes of a paintbrush to complete … and I’ve included a fun printable tag to finish it off for a super cute gift idea!

To make the shamrock mason jar, use your cutting machine to cut a shamrock shape from vinyl and apply it to the side of the jar.

Paint the entire jar with green paint.  I used chalk paint because I like the matte, slightly distressed look it gives to glass but any paint {including spray paint} will work.  Apply one or two coats and then peel the vinyl off while the paint is still wet {otherwise, it’ll pull the paint up when you remove it}.

Grab the printable shamrock tag and print it on cardstock then trim it around the edges, punch a little hole in the corner, and attach it to the jar with ribbon or tulle.

Fill the mason jar with your favorite green or rainbow candy or gold foil-wrapped chocolates …

… for a simply sweet gift that’ll brighten someone’s day!
