Start by painting the entire jar with 3 coats of the white chalk paint. Once completely dry add strips of the painters tape. So lay 3 pieces down next to each other
And then remove the middle one to create a striped look
Using the gray paint, paint the spaces in between the tape
Then repeat the same process with the tape but horizontally
Paint the in between lines using the gray paint. I did a few coats of the gray paint
Using the black paint on alternating squares paint black to give the buffalo check look
I wrapped the top of the jar completely with twine and then tied in a bow
