Description
🫙 Mason Jar Paint Palette 🎨
I designed this paint palette lid to fit standard mason jars with a 70mm opening (such as Ball / Kilner jars). It features six individual paint wells around the perimeter for holding a variety of paints. The central hole includes a raised neck to hold a paintbrush, allowing it to rest or dip into water stored in the jar below for rinsing colours. Great for travel portability or limited space!

⚠️ Please Note
The screw cap versions are not designed to be watertight! It's mainly intended to make it more portable, maybe upright in a backpack or preventing paints from drying out as fast. (Mine does seem to be watertight but I am not sure I would trust it upside down for a long time. It will probably be ok with a bit of splashing inside a bag.) The screw cap can be tightened quite tight, but careful not to overtighten it as it may start to shear the threads. It shouldn't snap the shaft… I tried it, for science!
