Glass jars are some of my issues in the cabinets! I love this idea, Wendy. Hope this will last. Gtg, I'll buy a chalkboard paint.

I have so many jars in my fridge & my pantry that are unlabeled (baking soda, baking powder, and powdered sugar all look virtually the same & taste testing them before baking always gets old!). <br /><br />I've just discovered chalkboard paint and I absolutely love it.

You could sew a sleeve for the jar with the chalk cloth and slip it over the jar. Perhaps, even, add border of lace or rick rack.Creative Originshttp://www.creativeorigins.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-15630697331722374932010-07-07T12:56:12.552-06:002010-07-07T12:56:12.552-06:00Love this idea!!

You'll probably want the waterproof ones, but I'm not entirely sure how well those work with the chalkboard paint, since I haven't tried them yet.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-65883383798338509342010-05-06T14:15:00.944-06:002010-05-06T14:15:00.944-06:00Thank you SO MUCH for this post!

Needless to say , dates are important. I've been putting masking tape on and writing on the tape.

Now I am thinking about what I could do with my stash of used jam jars and salsa jars and coconut oil jars (oh wait -- I already store teas in those. Clearly, I have a jar problem, too, lol). I love the ideas here and think the way you organized and labeled the jars is beautiful.<br /><br />Thanks for the ideas, Wendy. :)Karin B (Looking for Ballast)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592528618484082434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-83039209920094037232010-05-05T15:41:00.569-06:002010-05-05T15:41:00.569-06:00I think I love you... this is the best idea EVER! ...I think I love you... this is the best idea EVER!

It didn't look too bad, but still. I would suggest covering it with a clean box or something to prevent this.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-88803787826887817002010-05-05T10:57:13.840-06:002010-05-05T10:57:13.840-06:00Oh how I love when I get instant grat on my questi...Oh how I love when I get instant grat on my questions :) Thank you, Wendy. <br /><br />And now I'm convinced that THIS will be my solution to the Label-Maker tagged jars in my pantry. <br /><br />I shall get some black chalkboard paint, the chalkboard pens and have myself some kind of lid painting party. <br /><br />And then I'll go make us a chalkboard scoreboard for hillbilly golf, the garden markers, my cabinet door menu and probably a lot of other things so I should probably get a bunch of this paint.<br /><br />And pens.<br /><br />Oh, look at my Dorky now!FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.com
