Winning Decorations.

This idea is an absolute pearler. So simple but highly effective, and super cheap to make.

What you’ll need…

  • Mason Jars (in various sizes)
  • Acrylic craft paint
  • Gold Spray Paint
  • Gold Number Stickers
  • Fabric Scraps
  • Small Horse Figurines
  • Scissors
  • Paper Plate
  • Spray Adhesive or Hot Glue

How to… 

1) Paint the inside of the jars.

To coat the inside of the jars with craft paint, pour a bunch of it into the jar, then roll the jar around until nearly the entire inside is coated. It’s fine if the rim isn’t fully covered, because the next thing you’re going to do is place the jar upside down on a paper plate. The rest of the paint will drip down and finish off that rim for you!

2) Let the jars dry.

Place them upside down for about 15 minutes to allow the extra paint to drip down & onto the plate, then pick them up and repeat this process on a 2nd paper plate.

3) Add decorations, including the horses!
