Supplies Needed To Make A Mason Jar Utensil Holder
Step 1: Paint Planter Box With Chalkboard Paint
First, use a paintbrush to apply chalkboard paint to the entire planter box.
I find it works best to apply a coat in one direction, then allow it to dry before applying a coat in the opposite direction. Allow your paint to dry and cure according to the package directions before using.
You will then want to use regular chalk to condition the entire surface before use.
Step 2: Use Chalk Marker To Write Word Onto Planter Box
Use your chalk marker to write your word on the planter box.
For kitchen use, I use chalk markers. These are not required, but they are slightly more permanent than regular chalk. Once you write your words and allow them to dry, the writing can only be removed with water. This is much better than regular chalk, which can be easily removed by rubbing against a surface.
Step 3: Add In Mason Jars & Kitchen Utensils
Once your chalk word is dry, add in your mason jars and kitchen utensils!
I use one jar for spoons, one for spatulas, and one for miscellaneous utensils. You can customize this project to your kitchen's needs and use it in ways that work for you.
You can easily make this utensil organizer in an afternoon! Plus, you can customize it to fit your needs and space.
