Do you collect the glass jars from the products you finished?
I personally do this as its a great way to reduce waste rather than throwing them away immediately.
However, peeling the stickers from the jars can be a bit of a challenge.

Its so frustrating when the label doesnt come off quickly and when you get sticky residue after removing it.
The trick to avoid this from happening is to use boiling water, baking soda, and dish soap.
Once the jars are clean, you’re free to decorate them however you like.
There are so manyways to reuse the jars.
Next time you finish a pickle jar or peanut butter jar, dont throw it away.
Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2:
Remove the boiling water and peel the label as much as you could.
Step 3:
Create a paste using baking soda and dish soap in a small container.
Mix everything until it turns into a paste.
Spread it around the jar.
It shouldnt be a thick layer.
A thin layer can work.
Step 4:
Once they are dry, rinse the jars with water.
All the residue should be washed away.
If there is stubborn residue, dont hesitate to use a brush to scrub it off.
Step 5:
Wipe them dry and you are done!
