So remember these containers from Pier One Imports that I love so much?
Well I decided that I would make some of my own to add to the collection. First, I bought some jars at the Salvation Army (forgive me for not turning the flash off).
Next, I had Jason tape the jars so that there was a sqare on the front (Jason is waaaaay neater than I am. He is a perfectionist).
Next, we painted the area with chalkboard paint. We put on two coats of paint.
Finally, we removed the tape and cut a decorative edge so it didn't look so square. This was a very easy project and the jars cost $5 for all three. They might also look nice with ribbon or raffia tied around the top if that is more your style.
Very nice! I don't think I could live w/o my chalkboard paint :).
