Super Simple Burlap Wreath Hey guys! It's Jessica from This - N - That Furniture & Crafts again.

Jessica from This - N - That Furniture and Crafts and I'm sharing with you a super easy method of removing all those sticky labels from your glass jars. It's super simple and only takes a few minutes. I often walk into my craft room and look at my shelf with an abundance of "stuff" sitting there waiting to be utilized for the next craft project only to appear as junk to someone else! Now it has become a normal thing in my house for one of my kids or husband to ask me " Do you need this jar or can I throw it away?" I think I've got them trained. You can turn almost anything into a work of art or a craft!  In this specific post, I'm going to let you in on how I effortlessly remove those stubborn sticky labels from my jars or other glass pieces I may find at yard and thrift sales.  Removing labels shouldn't be that big of deal right?
