She uploaded a video of the basic technique on TikTok, where it has received over 2.7 million views. “I was really taken aback,” the mother of three said. “I was completely unprepared for that. “My kids constantly monitoring it to see how many views it has and how many new followers it has gained,” she joked.

Ange begins the video with two passata jars that have been cleaned and the previous sticker has been removed. She adheres to a rectangle sticker on the front, ensuring that it is straight and in the center. Ange then takes the jars outdoors and paints them completely in black spray paint. She also sprays the lids with rose gold spray paint and sets them aside to dry. When the jars are dry, she removes the sticker off the front, revealing a little window that allows her to view what’s within. Ange uses the jars to hold pine nuts and walnuts, and she says they go nicely with her Russel & Hobbs kettle and toaster.

Many viewers praised the ‘brilliant’ hack. ‘They look amazing!!’ ‘What a brilliant concept!’ said one woman. ‘It’s not often that I’m amazed by something like this, but nice job!’ said another. Many commentators were afraid that the paint might stink or be unsafe to eat. ‘There is no fragrance when the paint has dried, so the pantry is OK.’ ‘I didn’t spray the interior, so it’s as food safe as it’s ever been,’ Ange said. Others advised priming the jars to prevent the paint from scratching off.
