DIY Apothecary Jars

So I saw this idea on Pinterest (of course!) and decided to try it.  I just love Apothecary Jars for storage, but they can be expensive!!! Ive even watched to see if the jars at Hobby Lobby would go low enough for me to buy a bunch of, but then I found this and just had to try it. This project cost me a total of around $1.30, how cool is that lol.
 

Here's what you'll need:

 Some Spaghetti/sauce jars

, spray paint

and wooden knobs.
 

I had the jars already just needed to use the sauce and save them back, I also had the spray paint since I do alot of painting projects. All I had to do was buy the wooden knobs I fond them at Wal-mart in the craft section. Also don't forget the hot glue gun, to glue the wooden knobs to the jar lid.

 

Here's some jars that give you an idea of what to use. I actually ended up using the Turkey Gravy jar, a cheese dip jar, and a salsa jar.

 

 

 

After gluing the knob to the lid, you spray paint and fill with whatever you need to store.

I made mine for the bathroom to store cotton balls, Q-Tips and makeup pads.

 

Also I found some string and thought it would be cute so I just tied it on and cut.

 

This was a fun, cheap, and very useful project. I cant wait to make some more Apothecary Jars for the other bathroom and the kitchen :)

My Easy $6 cupcake stand

 

 

Supplies: All came from D.G.

1. 3 plates

2. 3 glasses. I used Margarita glasses for the top 2 and a regular cup upside down for the base.

3. Glue gun/glue sticks

 

All plates and cups were $1 a piece :)

I played around with the design to make sure I found the way I like it most.

Then just heat gun and glue!!!

 

So easy and super cheap, now we have a pretty Springy cupcake stand for our Easter cupcakes!

Ive made cupcake stands in the past, I used glass plates and glass candle stick holders all from The Dollar Store. But I'am really liking the plastic better since I have 5 kids. This makes me feel safer when I have lots of little hands rushing to grab cupcakes lol.

 

Here's a pic of the different designs I tried before picking the one above.
