Marble Dipped Mason Jars DIY

I have marbleized a lot of things around here. It’s probably one the easiest, quickest, and most fun ways to get fantastic results in minutes. Need to dress up a table before a party? Marbelize. Want some holiday decor without spending too much? Marbelize. Bored with the kids…you guessed it! Needing only your mason jar and a handful of 99 cent nail polish, you will run out of jars before you run out of fun.
Sticking with July 4th, I created two Marble dipped Mason jars to give you a quick idea of what you can do with 5 minutes.

Watch how its done!

To get started

  • Mason Jars (I prefer the ones without inscriptions on them- the smooth ones) – I show both in the tutorial
  • Nail Polish–
  • disposable container

DO NOT FORGET TO GET A PACK OF MASON JARS!

1) Fill up your container full of water.

2) Pour your nail polish in patterns on the water. Some nail polish will spread out thinly and some make more of a stripe pattern. Get creative!

3) For this project, you will want to wrok semi quickly. Nail polish stays on the top of the water allowing you to dip. However after a few minutes it fuses together and if you dip your jar into it at that point, it tries to grasp on as a sheet. This does not give you a smooth result when you pull your jar out. I put an example of that below.

(see below nail polish that sat too long pushes as one sheet and can get quite messy)

4) Partially dip your jar into the mixture, pull out, and dry upside down. Because its nail polish, it will dry pretty quickly.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED, BE PREPARED!!

Before you get started on this craft you will need lots of nail polish! I like to buy cheap nail polish in lots of colors and these will work for your jar marbling as well. Here are a few sets that are inexpensive.  If you order them, you will have tons of colors without paying like $7 a bottle at the store. Money savings!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This looks fun! Any suggestions on how to dispose of the water/nail polish mixture once you are done? I don’t want to pour that down my drain right?

      No! What is really cool and I need to make a video of (ill try to do it this weekend) is any nail polish left on top you can do one of two things with- you can either put a piece of paper on the top and it shoudl soak right on it (then dump the water) or use a stick/popsicle stick and just stir it up. After the nail polish has been in the bowl for a few minutes, it starts to turn into like a sheet of nail polish, so its super easy to get up.

    My kids totally love these types of projects. It is hard to keep them away from their video games but this jar activity kept them busy for a good 30 minutes which is a miracle! Thanks for recommending this and writing about it!
