Diy Jars

Happy weekend friends!

Last post I shared with you what I do with jars

that I save from using with my cooking.

A lot of times you will find it hard to scrape off all of the label from

the jars.  This post will give you an easy way to do this and it 

will remove all of the sticky gooey glue too!

First soak in hot water your jars for about 15 mins,

this will allow the labels to soften and most of the

paper will just peel away.

Then you are left with this, above, the glue and sticky stuff

Here's where the magic comes in,

using equal parts of Dawn liquid soap and baking soda

create a paste by mixing the two together.

It will look like this above....

Using your fingers, spread the paste over the glue and sticky

residue on the jars and let sit for about 10 mins.

Using the scouring side of the sponge scrub away the residue

And there you have it!  nice and clean, ready to diy

and add flowers to gift a friend!

This is my previous post showing how I added some twine and ribbon to the jars to make them look cute.  

I love how they turned out!

I hope you will give this a try!

Have a wonderful weekend!
