Check it Out! Last week I posted about using jars for storage. You can check that post out HERE and see how I used recycled jars to make usable desk accessories.
Today for my Make it Monday post I wanna share how you can make a really cool accessory for your bathroom or kitchen. This accessory is in the apothecary style and only uses a recycled jar and a dollar store candle stick holder.
For this project I used E6000 adhesive because it bonds glass to glass and is super strong. I also used a decorative drawer knob that I got on clearance for about 30 cents. I also used spray paint, the candle stick holder and a recycled dip jar.
Using my spray paint, I sprayed the candle stick and the lid. It took about 4 coats to the lid. I didn't want any of the original color showing and my paint was white. It took about 2 coats on the candlestick to get the look I wanted.
I used the E6000 to glue my knob to the center of the lid top. You could use a screw and nut if you prefer. Just drill a hole in the lid and thread it through.
And finally I used the E6000 again to glue the candle stick holder to the bottom of the jar.
After allowing the glue on all the pieces dry over night, I had a beautiful jar for my bathroom counter. I use it for Q-Tips.
What would you store in a DIY apothecary jar? I can think of a thousand things!
Dawn, now you know I need to do this.... wheted you get the knobs, this is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI found them in the clearance bin at Michael's many years ago. I'm thinking they were around 30 cents each. Got these beautiful pink and purple ones. They are adorable!
