Chalk Labeled Jars

Since I want a cleaner look for my desk, I will have to keep organized.
I have been collecting jars for months because they are great to use for dozens of projects.

I took out my stash of jars and cleaned them all--Goo Gone & hot water work really well to get all the sticky off of the jars.

Next I painted all the jar lids

Next, I cut out stencils from contact paper using my cricut and then I painted chalkboard paint onto all the jars.

It took 3-4 coats to get a nice thick labelThen, I let all the jars sit in the cupboard for a couple days to allow the chalkboard paint to cure.
Then you are supposed to chalk it all over and clean it off before using it.

I bought a chalkboard marker to use because my handwriting is awful with real chalk and it gives it a brighter cleaner look.

Voila!

Just a few more steps until I can reveal our new desk!
