Mason Jar Storage

 I have far too much stuff in my craft room. (Which is a good thing!)

I saw an idea on pinterest for mason jar storage.

I LOVE mason jars. LOL

So many things you can do with them, so, so many things.

I actually can't take credit for this project, my wonderful husband, Craig, made it for me. 

He picked up some clamp rings from Home Depot. 

Cut my pallet board for me.
Attached the clamps to the wood, screwed in the jars.

And then hung on my wall for me.

I had to buy the jars at Walmart, which cost a little over $10.00 for 12 of them. But I haven't been able to find any good deals on them anywhere. 

 

But I love it, it really freed up space in my drawers and on my desk.

My inspiration came from

Here


*UPDATE
I have had 2 of my jars break.
I heard a loud noise one night and came in my craft room to find all my paintbrushes on the floor.
The entire bottom of my mason jar severed perfectly off!
I assume it was from taking out and replacing my brushes over and over in the jar.
It also happened with my pen jar.
So please be careful.

Wood Blocks

 

My wonderful husband bought me this saw for Christmas.

 No having to go outside to cut, YAY!

I bought these wood slats awhile ago at Home Depot. (Very cheap, I'm thinking like $2 a piece or under)

I used my awesome new saw to cut them into blocks. All by myself! LOL 

I used my cricut with my sure cuts a lot program and cut out some words and pictures on sticky vinyl. 

*You can no longer use Sure Cuts A Lot program with the cricut. The older version SCAL1 & SCAL2 will continue to work with the cricut if you 

1. Already own the SCAL.

2. Do NOT update SCAL to SCAL3 (Which is free if you already own it)

3. Do NOT update your firmware for cricut.

I also used my very favorite Antique Top Coat along with paints and my sanding block.

(Bought this antique top coat with country burgundy paint a LOOONG time ago for $2 from Marcs. Wish I had bought ALL they had. LOVE this stuff.)
But a regular stain of any color works just as nice.

Not finished yet, but almost. Have to sand the heart and apply the antique top coat. But I love making these and how they look.
