Then paint over the freshly-painted lids. It will act as a "shellac". You could also buy non-toxic paints that will work equally well once "shellaced" with the mod podge or glue mixture.Hilary (Adventures from 14 Maple)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10477236472831874105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-671460771249983722012-07-26T07:15:27.751+02:002012-07-26T07:15:27.751+02:00Yeah that's my thought, too.

I'll try not to fill them to the point that the food comes into contact with the lid.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777280961954748110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-48518208100193615512012-07-24T02:29:26.593+02:002012-07-24T02:29:26.593+02:00I'm wondering if the paint with which the lids...I'm wondering if the paint with which the lids are originally painted is non-toxic? My first thought is no- but they are also not chipping off into the food. So if you can find paint that doesn't chip- maybe that will work?Taidukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684980386130764138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-28851845891156240482012-07-23T13:05:39.550+02:002012-07-23T13:05:39.550+02:00hmmm it seems most non-toxic paints are for interi...hmmm it seems most non-toxic paints are for interior walls or only stick to porous surfaces...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431141948396080292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-46002211852598707612012-07-23T07:33:22.727+02:002012-07-23T07:33:22.727+02:00Oh I totally want to have reusable lunch bags but ...Oh I totally want to have reusable lunch bags but I haven't gotten around to it, yet.

Two (or three?) summers ago I sewed about 30 reusable lunch bags so that we could stop using plastic bags in our lunches. We're still using that first batch!<br /><br />Does this make me a hippie?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775721064719805509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-11538103406815873872012-07-22T21:15:33.938+02:002012-07-22T21:15:33.938+02:00I would go for non-toxic paint for food storage......I would go for non-toxic paint for food storage... just a thought :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431141948396080292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-74123232837168676732012-07-22T21:09:41.438+02:002012-07-22T21:09:41.438+02:00such a good idea! maybe try sanding the lids firs...such a good idea! maybe try sanding the lids first to scratch the surface? what about spray paint? you've got me thinking about all my mismatched lids!x0x0xx0x0x0xTaidukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684980386130764138noreply@blogger.com
