Gift in a Jar ideas

Hi siren, not sure if it will work as i havnt smelt the jars but i find a good wash on high setting in a dishwasher works. pickled onion smells are hard to get rid of too but my dishwasher always works its magic on them.
im sure others will be along soon with their remedies, you could try them all then LOL.

Thanks Northernlass!

I now have a dishwasher in my new kitchen so that may be and option. They never smelt after I had washed them. I'd got several saved up but some were so bad I had to throw them out!! I still have about 8 though so its not too bad hehe

bicarb of soda is supposed to kill smells but try dishwasher first

i dont know if im looking in the wrong place or what but the whole page seems to be dedicated towards Books Literature Poetry etc no crafty bits as far as i can see. maybe they change the homepage on a regular basis to suite all tastes, never mind ive all the ones off this thread to keep me going:T

how weird ! I just tried the link I put on and it worked.........loads of 'sayings' and poems for stuff you can put in jars or make.

I hadn't got a clue what 'Borax' was, so searched on internet and this is what came up. Hopefully we can find it on the supermarket shelves.
