One of my problems is always having buttons, beads and pins scattered on my floor. I decided to decorate some little jars to easily to store these small items that I use frequently. I have been wanting to try etching cream again (I haven’t used it since a high school art project) and thought this would be a great way!

Clean off your jars with alcohol and place reinforcement stickers or stencil with tape in place.
Carefully paint on window etch inside the circles. Caution: do this step in a well ventilated area! Wait several minutes. Wash off cream and remove stickers/ stencil.
Cut out tag shapes from card stock, write or stamp jar contents and hole punch near top. Glue twine around jar lid and attach tag in bow.
Now just fill up your jars and screw on the lids! Have fun with trying different patterns. Try masking tape for stripes!
