Show those stars and stripes!  Get festive with DIY patriotic mason jars for Independence Day.  Holiday crafts are one of my favorite things to create.  Right now, I’m loving these patriotic painted mason jars from It all Started with Paint.

Upcycle any left over jars you have and create these gorgeous all-American festive jars to be used for decoration for the holiday.  Knock out a DIY patriotic and festive mason jar American flag in just a few hours.

Celebrate in style this holiday with minimal materials needed to get started.  A little bit of glass paint, tape and sponge can transform a mason jar into a glowing luminary. Tea candles can be placed inside at night allowing your 4th of July celebrations to go long into the night.  Triple the use of these crafted, patriotic jars for Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends as well the 4th of July.

Get started on this festive craft with the tutorial below.

3 Tablespoons Shortening
1/2 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup water
1 tsp of Baking soda
1/2 Cup Molasses
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves
3 1/2 Cups of flour

**Use Cookie cutters, peppercorns or small rusty bells and clear acrylic varnish

Directions:

In a medium large bowl, beat shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy, stir in molasses.  Combine dry ingredients and sift then add to shortening mixture alternating with water.  Dough should be stiff.  Cover dough and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
