Back to School Striped Mason Jars

Back-to-School-Striped-Mason-Jar-Teacher-Gift

Each year on the first day of school I love to have my boys greet their new teacher with a little gift to say hello and that we are glad to be in their class.  I love how this Back to School Striped Mason Jars teacher gift turned out, it was a huge hit.  

Not only is this set cute, it’s a functional gift for the teacher to help them stay organized with some of their favorite school supplies.

Supplies:

– mason jars
– DecoArt Americana home decor chalky finish paint (everlasting white, romance red, delicate yellow, legacy blue)
– DecoArt Americana créme wax
– clean soft white cloth
– foam brushes
– painters tape
– sandpaper (optional)

I am not showing a step by step tutorial today, but there is a full tutorial on how to make these super fun striped mason jars HERE with my Spring Inspired Striped Jars.  Head over and see how easy they are to make.

Back-to-School-Striped-Mason-Jar-Teacher-GiftI chose to stick with a color palette that reminded me of school so I chose primary colors.  My youngest son went off to first grade this year so it is a perfect color combo for his teacher.

Back-to-School-Striped-Mason-Jar-Teacher-GiftOnce you have all your cute Back to School Striped Mason Jars painted it’s time to fill them with a few cute supplies.

You have a few choices.  You can fill them with office supplies,  individually wrapped candies for the teacher to snack on, or some $5 gift cards to places like Sonic – Starbucks – or Target.
