Turn an old mason jar into a fabulous indoor planter

Bold red paint can quickly turn a regular old mason jar into a statement piece. Using a light touch of sandpaper and a sealer, you'll transform the jar into a vintage-inspired indoor planter. Tie it off with a ribbon of twine to complete a rustic look, then place it on your bookcase, mantle or tabletop for an eye-catching accessory.

Of course, you can vary the colors of paint you use for this project. If you have a handful of mason jars on hand, you might wish to create a rainbow display of planters. Alternatively, you could match the decor in the room where you'll place this plant. Whether it's the bathroom, kitchen or living room, it will bring life to the space and add an amazing pop of color.
