Mason Jar Sunday {DIY Mason Storage from Liz Marie!}

Today’s Mason Jar Sunday comes in the form of a DIY guest post from one of my favorite fellow bloggers, Liz Marie!  If you haven’t yet met her in this wonderful blogging world, go say hello!  All photos in this post are credited to Liz.

I’ll let Liz take it away…

One of my favorite elements for interior design costs less than two dollars at your local grocery store. That’s right, Mason Jars. Now, you can find some antique mason jars that cost more & some in different styles, but for this DIY project I used four simple wide mouth Mason Jars. I decided to make my first one for my first time for our master bathroom because I hate the disorganization of bags of cotton balls and other odds and ends. I was so excited that I combined my love for mason jars & stylish practicality…

Mason Jar Storage for the baño…

Amazing storage, & it’s with my favorite thing ever, MASON JARS!

I filled my mason jars with Qtips, cotton balls, & cosmetic sponges, but you could fill yours with virtually anything that fits in a Mason Jar for any room.

What you will need to create your mason jar storage…

I painted my board to match my bathroom with this lovely shade of purple.

Mason Jars, picture frame hangers, & some large pipe clamps

O, & you might need one of these.. a hubby! haha He was such a big help figuring out the placement of the jars for me.. Have I ever mentioned how amazing my husband is? Love him more than anything in the world..

And now for some Mason Jar love to show off the final product!

Isn’t she crafty??  I love this.  Thank you for contacting me, Liz!!

If you have a favorite mason jar idea or an image, send it along, I’d love to share!  {and Kamie, yours is going up next week :)}

    Cute! I have mason jars all over my house-lined up in the windowsill with fresh flowers, in my office full of sorted craft supplies, on the coffee table with mini pinecones and wine corks….I probably have more than 20!

    I love it! I want to make one for my office, since the vintage milk bottle I have been storing pens in doesn't hold as much as I had hoped. This project is calling my name!

    Kinda hot for this idea so much that I'm planning a jumbo-jar organizing yarn shelf unit… Jacin I love that you love jars, too. I thought I was stupid for loving something like… a jar.

    LOVE the usage of these mason jars! What a great idea!

  • Kelly says on March 27, 2011 Reply

    I just love that you do mason jar Sundays. It's such a classic Americana piece, and so versatile. I look forward to it now :)

  • liz says on July 5, 2011 Reply

    I love this idea.. but how did he attach the pipe clamps to the board? Did he nail them or hang them on the picture frame hangers? I’m sure it’s so apparent but I’m just not seeing it..

      hello there, They are screwed to the board using a screw through the clamp.

  • Wendy says on July 9, 2011 Reply

    I am definitely doing this for my bathroom… perfect solution for what I’m dealing with! But I, too, would like to know how they were fastened to the piece of wood. :)

      hi! They are screwed to the board using a screw through the clamp.

      • Lissa says on February 23, 2012 Reply

        What are the picture hangers used for? To put it on the wall? Are they strong enough?

  • Melissa says on September 6, 2011 Reply

    Love this! I think I’m going to try it. Not just for the bathroom either but possibly for an office setting :)

  • Anna says on January 15, 2012 Reply

    You know, I have an intense love for Mason jars too. Truly.
    This is one of the many great uses for them I’ve seen - up there with the wall garden (a lot like your setup) and the chandelier.

    Take care, love the blog!

    How are these attached to the board? Seems like a major detail to be left out of the post?!

    Cute idea!!! This would be wonderful in my bathroom :)

  • Katie says on February 19, 2012 Reply

    Cool idea BUT you need lids on them to keep the dust and grime off of your clean toiletries!!

  • jacky @ small home love says on February 21, 2012 Reply

    Love, love, love this idea! In the process of redoing the bathroom and these would look great. Thanks for sharing your tutorial.

  • Daisy says on February 29, 2012 Reply

    Help me please! I’ve been trying to do this for my toiletries and for my herb garden and I can’t for the life of me get a whole through the clamps! It seems like I’ve tried everything! I even went out and bought a special drill bit and it barely put a scratch on the dang thing! I need help!!

    • Laughing Abi says on May 18, 2012 Reply

      Not sure if you ever solved this problem but I just read your comment and had an idea. Did you try driving a nail through the metal clamp? Maybe the sharp point of the nail would go through. Then you could remove the nail and use the hole you created for your screw. Hope this helps. I’m getting ready to make one of these so let me know how it goes.

    These are really sweet. Mason jars make me feel nostalgic for my farm girl childhood. I want to fill blue ones with wildflowers for my wedding reception centerpieces.

  • Kaitlin says on April 24, 2012 Reply

    I am curious what are the dimensions of the board you used. I love this idea and can’t wait to make one myself! Thanks

  • Erin says on May 13, 2012 Reply

    My daughters made this for me for Mother”s Day!!!!!!
    What a great idea!!!!!! This craft will be the perfect addition to my bathroom!!!!!!!!

  • renee says on May 13, 2012 Reply

    hello! DId you drill the wood onto the wall to make it stay? I am moving into an apartment and I am not sure if I will be able to drill holes into the wall. Any other suggestions on how to mount this wonderful project?

  • Sukoch says on May 14, 2012 Reply

    Really cute idea, but would need fitting lids to keep the contents from getting dirty.

  • darcy says on May 17, 2012 Reply

    I have so many mason jars left over from my daughters wedding…want to try this out, I think it would make great storage for my stained glass bits!
