Mason Jars are a classic staple for crafts and decor all year round and this Decoupaged Honey Bee Mason Jar is no exception for Spring! This Sweat Pea and Hunny Bee printable will have everyone “buzzing” about how they can get one for themselves too!
Every since I discovered printable from Digital Deco Designs I have been literally obsessed. I’m telling ya, go check them out for yourself and I dare you to not get addicted!
The Sweat Pea Hunny Bee Printable that I am using in this project is from my digital subscription to download and print at home, but if you don’t have a printer she does print and ship too! The super uh-maz-ing thing about her prints is that they are done on RICE PAPER! Say Whhaaaaaaaat!?
If you have not Mod Podged something with rice paper, you are not living your best Crafty Life my friend. Jus’ Sayin’. And the best thing about this particular print is that it’s a combo mini print, so if you’ don’t have the subscription and you’re buying just for this project, you get both prints in one!
The fact that it’s a combo print means that my Decoupaged Mason Jar is two-sided! Here is the adorable Hunny Bee side….
The super cute Sweet Pea side….
I’ve made quite a few projects with her prints, and there are so many more I want to make! This Vintage Heart Pallet was the most recent one that I’ve had a chance to get up on the blog here. The special thing about this Decoupaged Mason Jar project is that I printed the Hunny Bee and Sweat Pea combo onto tissue paper, instead of rice.
Digital Deco Designs printables make for great gifts! This Honey Bee Decoupaged Mason Jar (or a Mason Jar with another one of her prints) would make the perfect Mother’s Day gift. As per usual, Digital Deco Designs saved the day.

How to Decoupage a Mason Jar with a Honey Bee Printable
I made this adorable Honey Bee Decoupaged Mason Jar on video, so you can WATCH the step by step tutorial HERE or by clicking the below pic.
First things first, clean you mason jar with rubbing alcohol to make sure the paint sticks. Then using a spouncer, cover the entire mason jar with white chalk paint. You can use a paint brush too, but the spouncer gives it a bit of texture and you get really nice full coverage in less coats.
Next use a water pen or a wet paint brush to tear out the part of the image(s) that you want to use. Just trace around the image with a tiny bit of water, and tear it away gently. This softens the edges once the print is decoupaged onto the mason jar.
Now we Mod Podge the Hunny Bee and Sweet Pea prints right on! Don’t use too much Mod Podge or will get bubbles and wrinkles, especially with the tissue paper. I did the Hunny Bee on one side….
And the Sweet Pea on the other…
I also cut out some of the smaller images on the print to Mod Podge on the sides. Here is the cute little Bee Hive!
And the Butterfly on the other side!
Now to add some florals. Just hot glue a square of floral foam into the jar, and start arranging your flowers how you like them.
Finish it off by wrapping some twine around the rim of the jar, and gluing a Totally Dazzled Rhinestone Bow to the front!
Is this not just the CUTEST thing you ever did see!? This would make an excellent Mother’s Day craft, even if you used the same concept with a different print!
