Crown Jar Bathroom Shelf



Hey guys! So this Crown Jar shelf is one of my most recent crafts that my boyfriend put together as a surprise for me. We decided to use this shelf in our tiny condo bathroom as a cute space to store our q-tips, cotton balls and flossing sticks. I’ve also seen these shelves used for toothbrushes, makeup brushes, hair ties, band aids ect.

Materials to build this Jar shelf:

Piece of Wood
Mason Jars (any type of jar works)
Hose Clamps
Regular Flat Screws
Screw Driver
Palm Sander
Hanging Hooks
Hammer

**You can purchase all of these tools and materials from Target, Wal-Mart or a Hardware Store.

Step 1: First gather all your materials, then sand down your piece of wood until it becomes a smooth surface. You can also use a wood stain or paint to match your bathroom décor accordingly.

Step 2: Once the surface is smooth and the paint is dry, use your flat screws and screw the hose clamps into the wood evenly depending on how many jars you’re placing on your wood. DON’T CLAMP THE HOSE CLAMPS YET!

Step 3: Once the hose clamps are screwed into the wood evenly, place your jars into the hose clamps and tighten the clamps up, making sure they’re snug and sturdy. Don’t forget to take the thin middle lid out of your jars, but leaving the treaded lid on so that you’re able to place items into the jars.

Step 4: Once the jars are on, we nailed some picture hooks onto the back of the wood and hung it in the bathroom. I was then able to start placing my bathroom essentials into the jars!

Hope you guys enjoyed!
