Signing UpStep 1: The trick is the template
The trick to the uniformity is the template made from a marker pen onto a piece of cardboard.
Now insert that piece of cardboard into every jar when you paint it.
I wanted a slightly messy brushed on look hence I used a template, not some sort of stencil.

I like the addition of a template to make the writable space uniform, you could also try my method of taping off the jars before applying the paint.
Your jars came up nice. I was after a different aesthetic and also the idea of putting all that tape down in the same size rectangle in the same area of the jar for 12 jars seemed like more work than it was worth for me. Kudos to your patience though.
