I suppose I could've used a ruler to keep it straight... but I kind of ended up liking my funky line up :) With the exception of the letters - this was super easy. So here's what you do (you can change the portions to fit your jar)... Start with one cup of kosher salt and add 2/3 cup of raw sugar. You can change the type of salt and sugar used so that you can have a finer or coarser scru...
