Create the perfect storage containers to keep items organized in your kitchen with this tutorial for Cricut Chalky Painted Mason Jar Kitchen Canisters. You can create these custom canisters to enhance your kitchen's look and feel while saving some space. Gather supplies. Thoroughly wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using. Apply a thin coat of chalky finish paint to each of the mason jars leaving the neck of the jars unpainted. Put aside to dry fully and repeat with additional coverage as needed. Open a blank canvas in Design Space. Select the text icon from the toolbar. Type FLOUR. Change the font to “Little White Lies”. With the word highlighted, adjust the letter spacing to 0.7. Stretch the lettering by clicking on the lock symbol above the size section and adjusting the height to 1.7” while keeping the width the same. Next, click on the unlock symbol and adjust the word height to 2”. With the word highlighted, click on the “Weld” button. Steps 5-11 for the other words: SUGAR and OATS. Measure the size of your mason jar lid. Insert a circle shape onto the canvas and adjust the size to measure the lid size. Create another smaller sized circle with a 0.25” diameter and place it directly on to the center of the other larger circle. With both circles highlighted, click on the “Slice” button and discard the smaller circle shape. Duplicate the circle shapes to cut one for each mason jar lid. Color sync the images if needed to match the material's color. Select “Make It” in Design Space. For cutting the words, set the material type to Premium Vinyl. Follow prompts for loading the mat into the Cricut Maker or Cricut Joy and cutting the Premium Vinyl. When prompted, unload the mat from the cutting machine. Remove the Premium Vinyl from the mat. For cutting the lid toppers, set the material type to Cardstock with adhesive backing. Follow prompts for loading the mat into the Cricut Maker or Cricut Joy and cutting the toppers. When prompted, unload the mat from the cutting machine. Remove the adhesive backing cardstock from the mat. Cut around each image with a pair of scissors. Using the weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl around the cut images and discard. Transfer one letter at a time by hand to the mason jar. Alternatively, cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the image. Peel away the transfer tape backing but ensure the transfer tape is not overly sticky. Place the transfer tape over the top of the cut image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape. Peel away the vinyl backing, leaving just the image adhered to the transfer tape. Position the phrase with the transfer tape onto the smooth side of a jar and press in place. Press the vinyl phrase down with your fingers to help it to stick to the painted glass jar. Slowly and carefully remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl image on the jar. Repeat for the other mason jars. Drill one hole the same size as the screw size for the knob through the center of the mason jar lid. Take extra care when handling sharp metal edges. Peel off one of the cardstock circles from the backing and place it over the top of the mason jar lid. If the lid is in two parts, glue them together using a hot glue gun with clear glue sticks. Screw the decorative knob onto the mason jar lid. Repeat with the remaining lids. To finish, fill the containers with oats, sugar, and flour. Cricut Chalky Painted Mason Jar Kitchen Canisters

LAST TIP – Don’t have a Cricut? Try using a sharpie instead. If you have amazing penmanship it will turn out similar. If you don’t, it will be slightly more rustic but beautiful. Just outline the jar in pencil first and practice on paper before applying marker.
