20 Days Of Creativity: Day 10 – Decorated Jars

Welcome to Day 10 of our 20 Day Creativity Challenge! Today’s project is all about taking something simple and turning it into something special: Decorated Jars.

This craft is perfect for adults who want to combine creativity with mindfulness. Using paint, embellishments, or even decoupage, you can transform an ordinary jar into a gorgeous decorative piece for your home or a thoughtful handmade gift.

Each day of the challenge, we provide a video tutorial to guide you through the project step by step. But remember—this is just a prompt! What will you create today? We’d love to see your interpretation.

Why Try Decorated Jars?

Decorating jars isn’t just fun—it has a variety of benefits:

  • Mindful creativity: Focus on painting, layering, and embellishing helps you relax.

  • Upcycling joy: Turn unused jars into unique home décor.

  • Personal expression: Each jar is a chance to showcase your style and colours.

  • Practical result: Finished jars can be used as candle holders, storage, or vases.

Tips for Your Make

  • Clean and dry jars before decorating to ensure your materials stick properly.

  • Experiment with different paints, markers, or even fabric scraps for a layered effect.

  • Use stencils or stamps to add patterns, or freehand your design for a personal touch.

  • Remember, imperfections add character—your jar should reflect your creativity!
