  Step 1

  Step 1| Clean jars

  First things first, you need a bunch of jars. Second hand stores are a great place to find cheap ones, but new ones are perfect too. Give the jars a good clean and dry.

• 

  Step 2

  Step 2 | Painters tape

  Place 4 strips of painters tape on the glass jar to form a rectangle. Inside the tape is where the chalk paint will go, so the tape works as a guide to get straight lines and as a barrier to prevent the paint going anywhere else.

  Step 3

  Step 3 | Steel wool

  Using the pot scourer, rub over the glass rectangle. This works to scratch up the surface of the glass a little so the in paint will adhere better. That’s the theory anyway.

  Step 4

  Step 4 | Paint

  Give the chalk paint a good shake before opening and then a good stir. Paint the chalk paint in the rectangle. Let it dry, then apply another coat, repeat coats until there is good paint coverage. Then leave to dry for the final time.

  Step 5

  Step 5 | Remove tape

  Once completely dry, carefully remove the painters tape one strip at a time. This is an easy job if you’ve used painters tape, which doesn’t leave residue.

  Step 6

  Step 6 | Tidy edges

  You may need to use a skewer or something similar to scratch off any paint over run if any. Then the final step is to get the chalk pen out and start labeling and then your all done!!
