I lightly sanded the tops of the jars and the wood holder and wiped them clean. Using a 1" foam paintbrush I painted the jar tops with 2 coats of black chalkboard paint, and the wood holder with acrylic craft paint. First for some reason I painted it light lilac, that wasn't right so I covered it in cape cod blue...and that wasn't right either; finally I mixed together bright blue with a bit of yellow and orange and came up with this pretty dark teal color - ahhhhh, just right. My thought is to put this in the bathroom for cotton balls, qtips, etc. and write on the lids with chalk - but who knows, it's so cute I have lots of places I might use it!
