Prepare Jars
Begin by cleaning out your glass jars. Spray paint a base coat of white paint. Once dry, add a coat of creamy white acrylic paint.

Add Vertical Stripes
Mask off vertical stripes on the jar using washi tape. Mix white, blue and black paint to get a grayish-blue color. Paint between the tape and remove the tape to reveal vertical stripes. Let dry completely.

Add Darker Squares
Reapply the washi tape in both horizontal and vertical stripes. Mix a darker blue color and paint inside the squares. Remove the tape to reveal your plaid design and let dry.

Add Texture
Optionally, rub down the jar with sandpaper to give it a more rustic texture.

Hot glue twine around the rim of the jar. Tie a small bow from a scrap of twine and glue to the front of the jar. Add faux flowers to finish.
