I REALLY want to remodel my bathroom but since that is not an option for me right now I have to live with what I have. But I can do some cheap and easy organization. I was getting a little frustrated the other day and decided I needed to do something to cheer myself up a little. I have all these ideas pinned on my boards on Pinterest and seem to put a lot of them off. Mostly I think they will be too time consuming and most of the time they aren't. I am just a procrastinator.
Here is the project that I made the other day. The painting took the longest but even that didn't take very long.
Mason Jar Storage
What you need:
5 jam size mason jars
5 hose clamps
(they need to be at least 2 1/2 inches)
1x4 about 18 inches long
Sandpaper, primer, and paint
5 screws to attach the clamps on the 1x4
2 screws to attach the board to the wall
What to do:
Sand, prime, and paint the board. I didn't paint the back of my board because it is going against the wall but you can if you want.
I measured where I wanted the clamps to go and used self tapping screws to attach the clamps to the board. I counted over 11 notches on the hose (from the left) as my guide to where I wanted to screw it on. That way they were all the same. Once I had the clamps on I screwed the board to the wall. I placed the screws behind where the jars would be so they couldn't be seen as well.
Once the board was attached to the walls I placed the jars in and tightened the clamps with a flat screw driver.
I used this for tooth brushes but you could use this for Q-tips, cotton balls, or hair accessories. This could even be used for other rooms in the house (kitchen, laundry room, bedrooms, etc).
This is my before picture. As you can see, it can get kind of disgusting.
