I just love little jars….and fun ways to
store things or give as gifts.
If I have a jar that is a neat shape and I know I
can get the label off easily, I always save it.
{A great way to get labels off easily is to wash
the jars in the dishwasher…whatever doesn’t
automatically come off will come off easily
when it comes out of the dishwasher.}
My favorite little jars are the pimiento jars….
2 oz. and 4 oz.
They are so cute!
Here’s a fun way to create your own
fun storage jars…basically for free!
Save jars from food items you
already use, get the labels off
and then spray the lids with chalkboard paint.
{1 can costs between $3-$4….and will paint
probably 40 jar lids!}
Here’s what you need:
Chalkboard spray paint
saved jars with labels removed
Here’s how ya do it:
1. Put your lids on newspaper…ready to spray.
2. Spray lids with 2-3 coats of chalkboard paint
{It will look shiny until it dries…it dries VERY fast!}
3. Be sure to paint the underside as well.
4. Allow to dry well and then put on jars!
Taaahhhhhhhh-Daaahhhhhh!
I just love these!
They are great to have on hand to take little gifts
to neighbors, teachers, hostess gifts…..
wonderful to take condiments and extras with meals to others.
Great to store herbs and seeds in, as well!
Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for a BIG, FUN giveaway!
We will be 1 !
Blessings~
