How to Make Be My Guest Jar

  1. Use a glass jar 1/2 to 1-gallon size with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Gather new/unopened toiletries and other travel items.
  3. Fill the jar with the toiletries and close the lid.
  4. To protect from overspray, use painter’s tape to cover the jar leaving a large square in the front. Press down the edges of the tape.
  5. In a well-ventilated area, spray the square with spray paint and let it dry. Spray a second coat of paint and allow it to dry completely.
  6. Apply a small amount of chalk and rub the chalk around the paint using your fingers.
  7. Write “Be Our Guest” on the jar.

How to use

  • Place the jar on the nightstand or in the guest bathroom; guests can use the items in the jar without having to ask you for items.
  • If you don’t mind guests having small bites in the guest bedroom, you can use the jar to set out individually packaged cookies, chocolates, and other portable snacks along with bottled water.
