Easy removal of Glass Jar Labels

-
Hi Friends.Glass jars are particularly handy to reuse. I've seen many youtube DIY and crafting videos where people spend way too much time and energy removing the labels.In this article I am going to present a simple method which takes 30 minutes and no scrubbing is involved!

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Required for this project:
  • The jar whose label is to be removed, filled with water
  • Hot water
  • Tablespoon
  • Baking soda
  • A vessel with a diameter of the jar diameter plus 5 cm (approximately 2")

Step 2: Prepare Your Solution

Add 1 tbsp baking soda to the vessel. Stir in about 1 1/2 cups of hot water.

Step 3: Soak the Jar

Lower the jar into the vessel. If the water does not cover the label add more hot water until it does.

Step 4: Wait 15-30 Minutes

Wait 15-30 minutes. The labels will slide right off the jar.

Step 5: Wipe Off the Glue Remnants

There will be a little glue residue left on the jar, it will wipe off with a wet cloth.
Wash the jar and use it for anything you like.

Step 2 in Paper lamps

Step 2: Experiment, experiment, experiment I cut out many circles of paper by hand and experimented to see what I could make them do. The larger paper had a floppy quality and I found that by mixing a bit of elmers glue with water, I could make the paper temporarily flimsy, influence the shape, and let it dry to form a rippled texture. Due to the weight of the paper, the dried vellum had flowing, smooth curves instead of lighter weight paper that will just wrinkle. For the water/glue mix, try your own ratios. I found mostly water and a bit of glue mixed together to a milky solution was perfect (probably a 6 or 8:1 ratio water:glue) and then I just reached my hand in and spread it over the paper, gently coating the surface in a thin layer of liquid. As I was experimenting, I ran out of room on my desk and started stacking up the small circles of paper and realized I really liked the stack. This became the main concept for the lamp.

How to make a high quality stamp out of your favorite logo or symbol. You will need the following materials: Speedball 6-Inch by 12-Inch Speedy-Carve Block Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1 which contains a straight bits & gouging bits 5 Minute Two-Part Epoxy Scrap wood for handle Polyurethane spray and finally an ink pad! Step 1: Select a favorite symbol or logo to use as a stamp Start by selecting a few black and white logos, symbols or other emblems that you would be interested in having a stamp of. It could even be some text. Just try to avoid an image with very thin lines as these can be difficult to carve, and can bend/collapse under the pressure of stamping down. Using an image editing program or even MS Word, create a black background and arrange them to appear side by side. Having the black background helps a lot when transferring images to rubber sheet. *Note*  There is no need to mirror/reverse anything as they will st

Scrabble Tiles Ornaments

I saw this idea in a magazine a few years ago and have been on the lookout for a used Scrabble set ever since. If you're a Scrabble/word game nerd like me, they'll be a nice addition to your collection of ornaments. This is a quick and easy little project. Plus, they make great gift ornaments because you can personalize them! First, you will need to find a sacrificial Scrabble game. You can either track one down at a thrift store or yard sale, or use that old set you've got tucked away up in the closet. I guess you could buy a new set to use, but that seems a bit wasteful. The set I eventually found was an old one my mom had, and it was missing a bunch of tiles and one of the trays. Step 1: Arrange Your Words Organize some words you like, making sure they will fit evenly on the trays. I decided to go with shorter words because they looked better as an ornament. Also, you don't have to just use holiday words. If these are to be a gift,
