Tired of having random bathroom necessities covering your counter? Get organized quick and inexpensively with these Mason Jar Organizers. Material cost is less than $25 and they are super versatile for any room in your home, not just your bathroom! Check out the instructions below to get started on your new bathroom de-clutter agent.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 or 4 Mason Jars (depending on how many items you need to organize)
- Hose Clamps
- A piece of wood ( I used a 7 inch tall by 12 inches long)
- Small jar of Wood Stain
- Picture Hanging Kit
- Drill and Screws
Step 1: Stain your wood
If you read my previous DIY Headboard post, you’ll see that staining is rather simple, you will spend more time waiting on the stain to dry than you will in the actual act of staining. You will need a two clean cloths, one to dip in the stain and one to wipe the board once you have stained. I actually used an old t-shirt that I ripped into two pieces… (think of ways to save money by using materials you have just lying around the house, that’s my motto anyway!)
With your stain cloth, dip the end into the stain and spread the stain across the piece of wood. I covered the front, the edges, and and little of the back around the corners, just so I could make sure it was all covered and would not show any natural wood spots once hung on the wall. Then, once you have stained your wood piece, take your 2nd clean cloth (or t-shirt rag) and wipe the excess stain off the board. The stain will need to dry for a couple hours before you drill the the holes in that will hold your mason jars.
Step 2: Get your drill out, it’s go time!
Well once your wood is dry that is… I suggest using the drill bit to pre-drill 3 small holes where the screws will eventually go into. Also, use the same drill bit to also pre-drill small holes into your hose clamps to make for an easier adhesion of the hose clamps to the wood.
Once you’ve made your pre-drilled holes, attach the hose clamps to your piece of wood with your screws. Three times the charms… or clamps to wood piece and move along to your final step!
Step 3: Get your picture hanging packet kit
This is probably the simplest step of all. Just apply two of the picture hangers to the back of your wood and you’re ready to hang!
This is probably one of the best DIY projects I have found to date. It’s simple, inexpensive, and looks marvelous in any room in your home. I love nothing more than a good DIY project on the weekend.
