Turn any Jar into a Chalkboard Jar

Turn any Jar into a Chalkboard Jar 

Materials Needed:
1 Jar (pickle jar) 
Goo Gone/rubbing alcohol (for removing labels)
1 small brush 
1 container of Plaid brand Chalboard Paint (I purchased at JoAnn Fabric) 
1 roll of blue painters tape
White Chalk 


1. Any jar (for illustration I used a pickle jar) and remove the label.
(Label can be removed using goo gone, or soaking in a mixture of rubbing alcohol and warm water) 

2. Outline desired chalk area with blue painters tape. 

3. Grab a paint brush and something to rest your brush on in between coats.

4. Outline desired area with tape, I also painted the lid.

5. Apply one coat of Paid Chalkboard paint to desired area. 

6. Wait 2 hours for first coat to dry, and apply second coat. I also coated the lid. 

7. Let the paint dry completely overnight.

8. Once the paint is dry run chalk over the area to set the paint. 


9. Rub off chalk and your ready to use your jar!
