Got a soccer player stuck at home for an extended spring break? Why not let them get crafty and make their own soccer ball themed jars perfect for pens, pencils, make-up brushes and more!
What you need to create this project:
- Mason Jar
- Paint Brushes
- Pencil
- Acrylic Black & White Paint
- Paper Hexagon Template - I just made some in Word and printed them out
- Sealer (clear spray or Mod Podge)
- Ribbon
- Hot glue gun
Paint
the whole jar white. It will take multiple coats. I ended up finding
a small jar of white house paint after my first couple of coats. I
then only had to add another two with the interior paint.
Most
soccer ball shapes are pentagons, but that was too hard for me to do
around the jar. The hexagon shape allows for it to measure up exactly
all the way around. Cut out a hexagon shaped piece of paper, and trace
around it with pencil. After you have the jar covered in hexagon
shapes, trace out the lines with black.
Next fill in your shapes with the black paint. It will take a couple of coats
Since the acrylic paint is flat and dull, I added one coat of Mod Podge
Gloss over top of it. I normally have a gloss spray on hand, but was
out tonight. I loved the look of the Mod Podge. It was so shiny and
sleek!
To cover up the top of the jar, I just hot glued on some soccer ribbon!
