The world of recycling and projects handmade It is full of fantastic ideas to show us that you can reuse packaging that would normally end up in the recycling bin.
How to transform Mercadona’s jars of sweet and sour pickles
To start, you have to wash and remove the labels from the pickle jar. The next step will be to put masking tape wide in the central part of the boat, painting the top and bottom with La Pajarita cloud white chalk paint.
Once dry, remove the wide masking tape. And in the center of the unpainted area, use narrow masking tape to create what will be the label where you will write the ingredient that you will keep in the jar. Once the tape is on, paint the gap that remains with chalkboard effect paint.

When it is dry, remove the masking tape and write on the chalkboard effect paint what you are going to store in the jar: macaroni, coffee capsules, noodles, beans…

Now, with La Pajarita chalk paint in a linen or light brown color, paint the lid of the jar. When it is dry, use a glue gun to glue a wooden ball.
@craftscm Don’t throw away your glass jars! ♻✨ Look at the before and after of this glass jar, an original way to reuse your jars! I have used Chalk Paint from @pinturas_lapajarita which is super easy to use, it does not require primer or varnishing. I have also used the chalkboard paint to make a label that we can write on with chalk. Material: – Chalk paint (linen) – Chalk paint (cloud white) – Chalkboard effect paint – Brush – Masking tape – Wooden ball – Glue gun What do you think? #decoration #recycling #diy #decoracaocriativa #decor #recycle #recycle #lapajarita #chalkpaintlapajarita
