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:

In addition to using your jars for bulk items, use them for packaged food as well. The jars keep snacks fresher longer and create a neater and more functional pantry.
