Over the years we have amassed quite the “eclectic” collection of jars. We didn’t really see a point in buying ones that were all matchy match when we can just repurpose the ones that come with our pickles, pasta sauce, and other jarred foods.
But after mistaking icing sugar for cornstarch, we knew that labels were a must. At first we printed up some clear labels to stick on the jars, but they weren’t very durable, plus it meant that each jar could only have one use. The solution: some painter’s tape and a small can of chalkboard paint. Now all our jars can be labelled and relabelled as often as we like. We use white pencil crayon since it’s not as messy as chalk, and it works just fine.
Here’s a picture of a small selection of our jars:
