chalky painted mason jars

Mason jars are the new huge thing in the crafting world.  You can create so many cute things with them for super cheap.  So off I went to Michaels and bought a half dozen of mason jars.  They come in 2 different sizes. I painted the outsides of the jars with different colored Annie Sloan Chalk Paints. Then, I used fine sand paper to distress the lettering to make it stand out. Lastly, you use your Annie Sloan clear wax to seal the paint and buff. 

It was Christmas and I had two different projects in mind for these mason jars.
