Painted Jar lids

I love those red lid canisters that Sugar Pie Farmhouse has been talking about. So I thought for snacks and other things I would paint my quart wide mouth jar lids red.I bought a box of plastic wide mouth lids at Walmart and a can of Paint for plastic.( I have uses this on lawn furniture and it works great and doesn't come off!) You can see how nice they turned out. They are not air tight lids. So to make them air tight put one of those medal air tight canning lids inside of the plastic lid and screw it on. Works great!

I use them mainly for nuts, dried cranberries,cherries,dates and other dried fruits. If you put healthy snacks in them you won't be tempted to eat other things. Your eye will go to these first. I also use these jars to store all my teas in. Also beans and such. the ideas are limitless. Also the colors are too. You can label them with those wonderful chalk ink markers.

The tea towel I have there is an old vintage table cloth that was cut up and make into several tea towels. Especially those ones that may have a hole in them. Make great aprons too!

Enjoy this project!! I would like to see yours. Leave a comment when you post it and I will come by.

God bless your day!! Sharon
