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! 

Diy Mason Jar Soap Dispenser Tutorial

This week I decided to create a cute Mason Jar Soap Dispenser; the most difficult part about creating the dispenser was finding the jar! I wanted to create a soap dispenser because we were really needed one for the kitchen sink and I thought it would be a much cheaper and cuter way to decorate the house, plus I love being able to reuse sweet things! These dispensers look great anywhere, also they can be made out of vodka mickey bottles for men’s bathrooms, garages, bars, and man caves!

Soap Dispenser Tutorial

Step 1: You need a Mason jar or any type of jar, a jar lid, soap pump from an old dispenser, scissors, a hot glue gun and soap. First place the jar lid on top of the jar, tighten the lid up. Carefully use the scissors to poke a whole big enough so that the soap pump will fit through tightly.

Step 2: Glue under the lid around the soap pump with the hot glue gun. This helps the pump stay in place. (The hot glue holds very well, mines still sturdy after a year.)

Step 3: After the hot glue has fully dried, add soap to the jar and tighten the lid back up, and PUMP ON!

EXTRA: I painted the lid of my Mason jar black to give it a nicer look; I did this by using spray paint. You can also use pretty paper or glitter for the lid to jazz it up.
