The Ancient One

I call this one “The Ancient One” because it reminds me of something left behind in the ruins of Greece. My daughter says it looks like something that would have been found in the tomb of a Greek God. (I’m sure she’s just trying to pump up my ego—but hey, I’ll let her have that one! It’s a nice compliment.)

This was made from an old food jar. Sometimes the labels on food jars are very difficult to get off and no amount of soaking in soapy water will remove the tacky glue and left over paper. That’s when I pull out my trusty spray bottle of Citrus De-Solv-It®, by Orange Sol—just a tiny squirt goes a long way. Spray, let sit for 30 seconds, scrape residue off with a little rubber scraper, and rinse. Couldn’t be simpler.
