Instructions
- Paint your entire canvas with a base color including the sides. I used an aqua or light blue paint but you can use any color that you choose.
- Allow to dry completely.
- Then print the template for your mason jar art. You can click here to download and print.
- Now for our secret to this method! Transfer paper! This is the same carbon paper that you may have used in elementary school. It actually comes in black and white. I used the white to add my template to the painted canvas. Just layer the paper with the shiny side down the lay your template on top. You can tape in place if you desire.
- Trace around the lines of your template with a pencil. You may need to put a book under your canvas to get the lines to transfer.
- Remove the template and the transfer paper and you should have lines on your canvas to trace for your mason jar picture.
- For the black lines, I just traced those with a Sharpie. If you have a steady hand, you can use black paint instead.
- Then fill in the hearts with pink paint. I used pink and white and mixed them to create a variety of shades in my hearts.
- Allow your mason jar picture to dry completely before displaying in your home.
