A Bargain Jar - The Best Medicine

I love jars. Everyone has seen the cork stopper apothecary jars in the boutiques...and they aren't cheap.
For an easy boutique look find some smooth glass jars (cork top or otherwise) and follow the directions below to create your own custom chalkboard label jars.

Large plain apothecary jar 2.95 Goodwill

Small plain jar .95 Goodwill

(After I worked my magic)

You will need a can of Chalk Board paint. (available at any craft/hardware store)

You will need your jar. (.95 from Goodwill)

Masking tape to tape off the area you are going to paint.

Paint with a brush or sponge brush in a smooth continuous direction.
You will need to hold the jar up to the light to see thinly painted areas between drying.
Apply another layer of paint once current layer is dry.
Check against light again.
Repeat.

Once paint is completly covering the glass no light will show

through the black area and you can let it dry completely.

(a blow dryer will speed this process up)

Run your nail or razor along edge of tape before peeling up and away from jar.



Small jar wrapped in lace, ribbon and paper roses,  and vintage buttons. Cork used to store straight pins.

These are sitting on a tray converted from Christmas to Burlap Chic. (2.95)

Info on tray conversions coming this week.

Try it!

...and as always Enjoy ♥
