After seeing this great Fall word art on the Silhouette design studio, I knew that it would be a great addition to my mantel. I wanted to keep the colors simple so I stuck with a dark brown and white.
Mason jars are everywhere these days, especially the painted and distressed ones. I thought that they would look awesome in fall colors with some pretty flowers added to them.
I looked at some of the tutorials that people had shared on Pinterest and thought to myself that I should be able to make them too. I picked out fall colors, orange, brown, and a foliage green to paint them. The green jar did really well, but I had to work on the brown and orange for a while. Once the paint dried I used a nail file to distress the jars, then sprayed a clear coat to give some protection to the paint.
I added some greenery and sunflowers, which are my favorite, to complete them. I think that I did pretty good for my first try!
I added an Owl wine cork holder, that I just bought when we went on vacation last week, to the mantel.
Here is my "Ready For Fall" mantel!
