a quick + easy up-cycle for your storage jars
Gather Together:
assorted jars
glue stick
bone folder- for burnishing if necessary-- you can also easily smooth out the labels with your fingers
masking tape + ruler (optional)
The particular jars I used were quite tall and slim, so I decided to measure 4 inches up from the bottom.
I then placed a piece of masking tape at the 4" mark on each jar, so when the jars were lined up together there would be some symmetry happening...because I like symmetry, don't you?
I then applied glue to the labels + placed them on the top edge of the masking tape + smoothed them out. I then removed the masking tape.
i love the simplicity of these + the labels add just a touch of specialness
