DIY: chalkboard glass jars

-
EN

Stationery shopping at Dutch shop HEMA is what I did lately. If you like whimsy, simplistic and mostly budget price you’ll love HEMA! I’ll be happy to take you there c:

Anyway.

Whilst strolling around at the DIY section, I spotted this canned paint saying ‘chalkboard paint’. OMG. My inner DIY sensor just went off like crazy and ideas were flooding my brain! So this canned badboy went home with me obviously.

At home I have hoard collected these glassed coffee jar for any furture DIY purposes. Personally I don’t think they look tacky and they are free from any brand engraving in the glass itself so they will be perfect for any personalizing!

The hoarding have paid off because these glass jars has got a nice label outside as with my new paint: Chalkboard glass jars!

And they already look so cute on my desk c: I hope you’ll try this tutorial out!

Laatst was ik weer bij de HEMA om leuke kantoor artikelen te kopen. Nou ja, eigenlijk kwam ik voor de schoolspullen maar klinkt zo raar sinds ik afgestudeerd bent. Hoe dan ook, ik ben en blijf een trouwe HEMA fan en dus ook voor de schoolspullen, yeah!

Dus.

Na zoveelste gangpad in en uit vielen mijn ogen toch nog op deze blik verf. Oogt saai maar de benaming zegt het tegendeel want er stond: ‘Schoolbordverf’ op. Hoe cool is dat! Mijn innerlijke DIY sensor liep op toeren en even werden de overspoelde ideeën in mijn hersenen teveel. Je snapt, deze ingeblikte badboy (€7,75) ging mee naar huis.

Thuis heb ik deze glazen koffie potjes van DA gehamsterd verzameld voor DIY doeleinden. Persoonlijk vind ik ze best ok uitzien en ze zijn vrij van enige gravering in het glas zelf zodat ze perfect zijn voor eigen personalisatie! En ook voor deze DIY, want deze glazen potjes hebben een mooi 2e leven gekregen met een etiket van schoolbordverf!

En ze staan zo super schattig op mijn werktafel! Ik hoop dat jullie deze tutorial uit proberen. Ik wens je alvast veel plezier c:
You'll need: clean glass jars of desire, 1 canned chalk paint (shop, shop), tape, a brush, water in a bowl
Handy: old papers, kitchen towels, turpentine
 Preventing is better than scrubbing.. 

Make sure you let a layer dry up first before applying the next layer! Mine has 6 layers! 

 Taaa-dá!

You can make them as a present or a gesture to someone c: 


What would you like to store in these jars?

    I love this idea! How do you even come up with these things, haha. I haven't seen chalkboard paint around but it opens up so many possibilities.

    I would probably store all my gummies or even bobby pins since I am forever losing them.

    I also really like the location of your desk and the window :)

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post.

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
