FUN and EASY DIY PROJECT: Jars for Bulk Items and Snack Foods

Repurpose attractive and functional glass jars:

• Collect and clean the jars you have chosen

• Remove labels by soaking the jars in hot soapy water overnight

• If you cannot fully remove the residue from a label,

scrape the remaining portion of the label with a dull knife or use Goo Gone. There are also other methods of removal you can find on the internet.

• Dry thoroughly and fill with snacks, nuts, seeds, grains and beans

Many of these food items are available in bulk at local health food stores such as:
