– Next, glue the 2 stacks of two empty cans on the ends of the T shape.

DIY Game Day Mason Jars

Supplies:
– 3 Mason Jars
– Painter’s Tape
– Paint (black, white, brown, and your team’s colors!)
– Paint Brush
– Sealing Spray
Directions: 
– Start by cleaning and drying the mason jars before painting.
– Paint the first mason jar brown, second one white and the third mason jar one of your team’s colors.
– Apply painters tape in the shape of a football on the brown mason jar, vertical stripes on the white mason jar, and horizontal stripes on your team’s mason jar.
– Paint black stripes on the white mason jar for a referee look. Use the white paint to outline your football and paint your team’s other color on the last mason jar to create a jersey look!
