DIY Glass Jar Project with Randall Beans

 

1. Buy a jar of Randall Beans at a local retailer (find here) or on our online store. We recommend buying the 14-oz jars for the project. The larger jars are sometimes harder to hold, but if you want a larger glass go for it. Find the jar of your choosing and use the beans to make a delicious recipe. Be adventurous and try a new recipe from our website!

2. Empty the contents of the jar. Use the beans for a fun recipe and drain all the water out. Next, rinse the jar several times to remove any remaining liquid. Thoroughly wash the jar and lid with mild dish soap.

3. Remove the label from the jar for increased room for decorating. There are two best approaches for removing the label. The first is to remove it with soap and water. It takes a little elbow grease to get all the glue off, but it slowly clears. The second approach is to take as much of the label off as you can, then use Goo Gone. Goo Gone is a magical invention which dissolves the remaining label and glue for easy cleanup. Follow the instructions on the Goo Gone bottle for a clear surface ready to be decorated.

4. Rewash your jar with mild dish soap. Allow the jar to dry completely before decorating. Air-drying or towel drying are both effective for drying your jar.

5. Decorate, decorate, decorate! Bring out the ribbons, stencils, paint and markets. Let your imagination take over as you decorate your ideal dream drinking jar. Allow your personality and design aesthetic to shine through on your new glass jar.
