How to Make Be My Guest Toiletry Jar

Materials

• Large jar (1/2 to 1-gallon size)
• assorted travel toiletries
• Chalk spray paint
• Painters tape
• Chalk

Instructions

Gather new/unopened toiletries and other travel items.

Fill the jar with the toiletries and close lid.

To protect from overspray, use the painter’s tape to cover the jar leaving a large square in the front. Press down the edges of the tape.

In a well-ventilated area, spray the square with spray paint and let dry. Spray a second coat of paint and allow to completely dry.

Apply a small amount of chalk and using fingers, rub the chalk around the paint.

Write BE MY GUEST on the chalkboard and place jar in the bathroom or guest room.
