Creating a Mason Jar Wall Organizer #organizingonadime

Looking for an inexpensive organizing system? Mason jars can help you get your stuff together and look super cute in the process. This Mason Jar Wall Organizer took less than an hour to create {not including paint dry time}.

To give credit where credit is due: 

I originally got the idea for this from a Mason Jar Idea Round Up on Confessions of a Posh Mommy. Not sure that is where this originated...if you are the creator of the original version of this, let me know. I'd love to give you credit, too.

We weren't sure how the original was made, so we just made it up as we went along {as all projects seem to go around here...flying by the seat of our pants. Daily.}

This is our version and the tutorial that we concocted:

Besides the obvious mason jars and scrap wood that were used, we also used wood joiners and dryer hose clamps for attaching the jars to the wood. 

I slapped a coat of red acrylic paint on our piece of wood 

{that we had cut to size and sanded already}. 

After the paint dried, we played around with how many jars we wanted on the board. Originally we were going to do four, but that posed a problem with attaching the board to the wall on the ends. So we took the slacker route {rather than having to think on it too much} and just used three. Problem solved. 

We positioned the wood joiners on top of the clamps. 

Then just pounded them into place. We used two per clamp. There wasn't an exact science to why we used two. Other than the fact that I didn't want to be cleaning up glass shards of broken mason jar anytime in the near future. 

After we did the stress test {read: picking up the board by the clamp and shaking it around to make sure it was good and "stuck"}, we positioned the jar and screwed it into place with the mechanism that accompanies the clamp. 

Then we just positioned it onto the wall on top of the wall anchors we had already pre-drilled into place. If you're drilling directly into studs, you won't need the anchors.

I love the vintage feel it brings to the room. 

This is the BIGGER PICTURE.
