I am kicking off mason jar week with some painted mason jars. I fell in love with this sea glass paint and just had to use it to paint a trio of mason jars. Grab your paint and your jars and make a few to add to your home decor or to make as a gift. They look gorgeous in beach or nautical themed rooms! They can be used as a vase for flowers, a candle holder, and more. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post and see what mason jar ideas the other bloggers in this series have for you today as well!
Supplies needed to make these painted mason jars:
- Pint mason jars
- Sea glass paint (this frosted glass paint will work as well if the sea glass is out of stock)
- Sponge pouncer brush
How to make these sea glass jars:
I thought I would make a quick video to show how I have been using the sea glass paint. You can actually watch me paint one of these jars live below. Be sure to like us on Facebook for more content like this!

Ingredients
- Pint mason jars
- Sea glass paint frosted glass paint will work as well if the sea glass is out of stock
- Sponge pouncer brush
Instructions
- Start with clean and dry sea glass painted mason jars. You can clean them with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry completely. Be sure not to touch the glass surface after they are cleaned as the oils from your hands can affect your paint.
- Then apply the sea glass paint with a pouncer brush. This gives you a tumbled sea glass look on your jars. You can also apply with a regular brush to get a smoother finish.
- Allow to dry completely.
- You can then tie on some rope if you want to add to the nautical feel of these jars.
It really is that easy y’all. You can have some jars like these made in just minutes. Pick up some sea glass paint and make some painted mason jars of your very own.
This paint would look great on some other projects as well. Give it a try because I know you will love the look it gives! All in just one coat of paint!

Those are beautiful, Angie!
I really love these Angie! The colors are fabulous! So great to be hanging out with you this week!!! Sending hugs : )
These are beautiful! I didn’t even know there was sea glass paint!
Thanks for sharing.
Hi, beautiful tutorial! I have couple of old jars with neat patters, but I haven’t been able to remove the lime scale on the inside. Do you think this would work to highlight the patterns? One is ridges and the other is lattice and the patterns are raised on the outside. Thank you.
It probably would! You might give it a try on one as a test!
Hi thanks for all the info. I also love the nautical look my family and friends also receive my creations. Not sure where I can buy this paint I’m in Australia. Must go looking. Keep up the info, cheers!
I tried and got streaks…
Did you use a regular paint brush or a sponge pouncer brush? That will make a big difference.
How do I make it dishwasher safe?
Not sure if this paint can be made dishwasher safe! Sorry!
I just ran across this site on Pintrest. I am interested in lots of crafts, but my main passion is card making. This sea glass paint is so gorgeous, how about using it on acetate for paper crafting?
You definitely can!
could you use the Art Deco frosted enamel paints for this ?? How would it compare to the Sea glassPaint?
I have used both and I like the sea glass paint better for this particular look.
