Turn plain mason jars into adorable farm animals with a little craft paint + felt!

Use these darling jars as table centerpieces for a Farm Birthday Party or as creative holders for utensils, straws, pens, etc. They’d also be cute as everyday decor for a playroom or elementary classroom!

There’s no need to be precise or perfect here. I started by painting the jars, then freehand cut the felt pieces to turn them into a Pig, Chick, and Cow. I think the crafty/imperfect look adds to their charm. 🥰

DIY Farm Animal Mason Jars

***

MATERIALS:

• Mason Jars*
• Craft Paint
• Paintbrushes
• Felt
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun

* I used 32 oz wide-mouth jars for the pig & cow and a 16 oz regular jar for the chick.

INSTRUCTIONS:

***
1. Paint glass mason jars with 2 coats of craft paint to match the animals you’re creating. For example, pig = pink, chick = yellow, and dairy cow = white + black spots.

2. Paint the mason jar lids separately in a contrasting color.

3. Cut felt into simple shapes for the face and ears, then hot glue them to the jars.

4. Use black paint and a paintbrush or pencil eraser to add the eyes and nose details.
