Here's how it's done...
You need:
1. Chalkboard Paint
2. Mason jars
3. Sticky paper/clearasil
4. Scissors
5. Paint brushes
6. Chalk
7. Hair dryer
8. Vivid/felt tip pen
9. Methylated spirits/rubbing alcohol
10. Que tips
Before you start painting you need to remove the old labels first. It's simple. All you have to do is heat up the label using a hair dryer, you want to heat the label for a bout 3-4 minutes on the lowest pressure possible. Then it should easily peel off. Make sure you peel it off as soon as you stop heating it. You don't want to leave it to cool down otherwise it will be too hard to peel off and you will have to heat it up again. :/

And now we wait for the paint to completely dry for about 1 hour. Then you can go ahead and write whatever you want on the label. :)
You can use these labels on other jars for storing food etc or use them on your normal drinking glasses. Chalkboard paint is so useful and can be used for many things. I can't wait to use these at my engagement party! They are super cute and my guests will never lose their jar! :)
