I hope you enjoy!

The materials for this decoration are easy to find - you might as well have them at home, right now.

1. Empty jars (this instructable will use Nutella and peanut butter jars, but you can also try using other jars)

2. Dark and light brown paint and (if necessary) black, yellow and white paint for mixing

3. Paintbrushes in varying sizes

4. Newspaper

• If you haven't already, you will need to clean out the jars
  • TIP: Do not use the dishwasher, as this will peel off the etiquette, and the effect of the jar will be lost
  • I recommend cleaning the jars with hot water and dish soap
• Make sure that the jar(s) are completely cleaned out before proceeding

The perfect Nutella colour is usually a very dark brown, which can be mixed easily or purchased as it is. The perfect peanut butter shade is usually a very light brown, with a small touch of yellow.

TIP: View pictures for the perfect shades of brown.

The most important part of your cute and decorative Nutella and peanut butter jars is to paint them. Be sure to cover your workspace with newspaper to prevent from making a mess.

• Paint the jars with the prepared colours. Be sure only to paint the inside of the jars, not the outside!
• TIP: paint the inside densely, so that one can no longer look through the glass.
• Let the jars dry 2-4 hours, depending on the thickness of the paint you applied.

Now that you have finished painting the jar(s) you are nearly finished - all that is missing is something you can put inside. Here are some suggestions

• Pens
• Pencils
• Rulers
• Paintbrushes

And more!
