Next, grab your favorite bottle of rubbing alcohol!.

Next, you’ll want to clean it up really well.Use soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

Finish up with a bit of rubbing alcohol to really get the grease off.. Make sure it’s super dry!.Or don’t.. Here’s what happens if you spray paint over areas where there are still some water drops.. It’s actually kind of a neat, crackly-aged look, but it was totally a mistake.I just left it though, because whatever.

Now I kinda like it.. OK, so for real, it’s time to spray paint now..Separate your lid and your jar and place them on some newspaper or an old box or something outside.. You’ll need to do about 3 really light coats to get a nice even finish.

Let it dry for about 5 minutes between coats.. As for the paint, honestly I’ve used all different kinds on different pottery pieces, even the really dirt cheap stuff, and it always works just fine.

The only difference is how easy or difficult it is to use.They may have even been bigger, so you could probably even get two calendars out of one piece.. Kennedy and I painted it up with some old gray paint that I found in the basement, then we stamped some letters on it.

It didn’t work out so well..So I painted over it and grabbed some wooden letters from the craft store instead..

I hot glued some ribbon that I had in my stash around the sides to cover the raw edges of the MDF.At some point I also added the clothes pins on in rows of three with hot glue as well.. Bam!
