Easiest way To Remove Label & Glue from Jars for Crafting
Have you ever emptied a jar that was in your fridge and since your crafty, you ponder on an idea then you look at the jar and see that ugly label? With past experience you know no matter how much you scrub, and soak that glue residue is not coming all the way off. So I looked and found the easiest way to remove the label with only two ingredients.
You will need
Baking Soda
Cooking Oil
Prep Jar by removing as much of the label as you can and exposing the glue.
You will need to mix equal parts of baking soda and oil to make a paste. You want the mixture to stay on the glass so you want to make sure that the mixture is not to thin. How much you need depends the area that you are applying the mixture to and how many jars you have. Now that you have the mixture on the area with the glue, set it aside and let dry for 30 mins. I found that the longer I let the mixture sit on the jar the easier the glue comes off. So I got in the habit of doing my jars after supper and let dry over night, then washing the mixture as I clean up from breakfast. You will want to use something that you can scrub with just in case there happens to be a little spot that is being stubborn. And that is how you get the glue residue off so you can have a pretty jar for your crafting needs.

Sweetgrass baskets are almost identical in style to the shukublay baskets of Sierra Leone, where learning to coil baskets "so tightly they could hold water" was an important rite of passage in West African tribes like the Mende and the Temne. This basket-making tradition came to South Carolina in the 17th century by way of West African slaves who were brought to America to work on plantations. West Africa resembles South Carolina in both climate and landscape, and rice had long been cultivated there. In slaves, plantation owners gained not only free labor but also a wealth of knowledge and...
