Ingredients
  

  • Set of 3 Jars 1L Decorative, with shoulders; lids removed
  • Chalky paint in red, burnt orange and deep yellow (we used Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Romance, Heritage and Inheritance)
  • Paintbrush
  • Sandpaper 200grit
  • Faux Fall florals and faux lagurus bunches

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using.
  • Using a medium sized paintbrush, apply chalky paint in red over the entire surface of one jar. Paint a second jar in orange and the third jar in yellow.
  • Allow paint to fully dry before applying a second coat of paint and before moving on to the next step.
  • Using a fine grit sandpaper, gently sand the painted jars to distress the edges.
  • Fill the jars with faux Fall florals and place on a table as a pretty Fall centerpiece.
