Mason Jars to store items in the bathroom, seemed like a genius idea to me and man no shortage of Pinterest “posts” to tell you how simple and easy this is. I decided I needed to make my own Mason Jar Storage unit. Well ladies and gents I do not want to be a pinterest spoiler here but hmmmm looks way easier than it is. I know WTH right???
OK it’s not that the project is hard but the dang screws through the very small pre holes
(actually lines not holes arg) on the clamps well lets just say I handed this project over to a helper.
Mason Jar Storage Hanger
The premise seemed very simple. All you need 4 clamps, 4 mason jars, a board that you like and wham bam done. You then have a perfect mason jar storage hanger for the bathroom, you have seen the pinterest posts right??? So like any good blogger I set up my supplies for the perfect shoot and omg frustration baby. Kent ended up putting the jars together.
Kent is far more meticulous then I am so he tightened the clamps on the jars to see exactly where we would need to screw them on to the board and by “we” I meant him, you understand that right?
Getting Creative with Jars
After placing the jars where he needed, he then measured ( again something I tend to skip) where each jar should be placed so that the holder was symmetrical. He always tries to slow me down with that measure twice, cut once rule, me, I am the eyeballing something then cutting and making do kind of gal.
Then it is easy opeazy attach clamps to the board, insert mason jars and you are done. You will need to attach all four clamps to the board equally spaced apart,
My Mason Jar Storage
I really wanted to use old barn board but of course not easy to find in the suburbs. Instead I went to Michael’s and found a precut piece of Oak that I liked. My Board was not stained, I liked a natural blond for the bathroom but you could easily stain or paint the wood in advance.
I also opted for the medium mason jars ( PS these are the real mason jars used for pickles or salsa not the ones purchased at a craft store.
and volia a lovely Mason Jar Holder for the bathroom. Real easy to make especially if you have a guy willing to do the hard work like screwing the screws.

Love it! Such a great use of space! I have a mason jar on my vanity with q-tips in it, but hanging them is a great idea. It's pretty and practical!
