Supplies needed to Make a DIY Mothers Day Vase
- Jars
- Chalk Paint
- Printable tag (find it here)
- Ribbon
- Flowers
How to Make a DIY Mothers Day Vase
Step 1: Paint your jar. We found we needed 2-3 coats to give the jars total coverage. Let dry completely.
Step 2: Rough up the dry jars with sandpaper.
Step 3: Fill the jars with water and flowers.
Step 4: Download the tag from our shop. We printed ours out as wallet sized (you can generally adjust this in your printer settings) but they should print well up to a 4×6 if you would like to use them for a bigger vase or a different project.
Step 5: Cut out the printable and make tags, then tie them to your Mothers Day vase, and go make the mommas in your life happy!

very pretty! I found on YouTube if you spray paint glass jars with a white primer (dries extremely fast) then apply one coat of chalk paint…it does the job! Saves a lot of paint and time.
Why spend the extra cash on chalk paint,when primer and any flat paint will get the same results?
Does the chalk paint stay on fine without any chipping or rub off ? Im curious as usually a wax sealent is used on chalk paint. Thanks
What can be used to make it water proof?
When I try to download the free printable it required me to sign up. I did sign up, confirmed I am not a robot and it still will not let me get to the download. Can you please email it to me, or help me be able to download this lovely card.
Thank you so much
Patti, I changed the permissions on the file. Were you able to access it?
I am not finding the smaller bottles of the paint just the large. Where can I get the smaller bottles??? Dawn
