You Will Need (7 things)

  • Smooth mason Jar
  • Paper
  • Extra-fine black Paint Pen
  • Scissors
  • Sponge
  • Rubber Band
  • Pencil

Steps (6 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Mason jars have a two-layer lid that comes apart so that you can put in your own label. If you can’t get hold of one, a normal jar will do. Wash the jar with dishsoap and water to degrease it, and let it dry. Try not to touch it afterwards with dirty fingers.

  2. 2

    To make a straight line, secure a rubber band around the jar and trace along the band with the paint pen.

  3. 3

    Carefully doodle on the jar and allow the paint to dry.

  4. 4

    Unscrew the lid and use a pencil to trace the lid on paper.

  5. 5

    Decorate this lid insert in a pattern that matches your jar pattern.

  6. 6

    Cut the circle from the paper, sandwich in the lid, and screw the top back on.

    *** Note: Marker is not foodsafe so don’t get any on the inside of the jar if you’re intending to use it for food.
