Mason Jar Sunday {DIY Mason Storage from Liz Marie!} | Lovely Little Details. Today’s Mason Jar Sunday comes in the form of a DIY guest post from one of my favorite fellow bloggers, Liz Marie! If you haven’t yet met her in this wonderful blogging world, go say hello! All photos in this post are credited to Liz. I’ll let Liz take it away… One of my favorite elements for interior design costs less than two dollars at your local grocery store.
That’s right, Mason Jars. Now, you can find some antique mason jars that cost more & some in different styles, but for this DIY project I used four simple wide mouth Mason Jars. Mason Jar Storage for the baño… Amazing storage, & it’s with my favorite thing ever, MASON JARS! I filled my mason jars with Qtips, cotton balls, & cosmetic sponges, but you could fill yours with virtually anything that fits in a Mason Jar for any room. What you will need to create your mason jar storage… I painted my board to match my bathroom with this lovely shade of purple. Mason Jars, picture frame hangers, & some large pipe clamps Isn’t she crafty??
Chalkboard Mason Jar Magnetic Jars. Longest title ever for a craft? I just couldn't decide what to call it, so it;s a little long-winded.... But, here's a tutorial on how to make Chalkboard Mason Jar Magnetic Jars: I was sent some products to try out from Plaid, along with a gift card to Walmart for any other supplies I may need. First off, did you know that Walmart has expanded their craft department??
(oh man, I must be technology challenged - I took these with my tablet and now I can't flip the pictures - so turn your head and humor me .... ) Do you remember a couple of years ago when they downsized the craft section and took out fabric (at least my Walmart did ) to make room for a bigger electronics section - - and then mine brought back fabric a few months ago and I jumped for joy - - and now the whole craft department has expanded recently - take that electronics! Including tons of products from Plaid - awesomeness! Anyways, moving on - - I picked up these super awesome mason jars - I didn't even know they made these:
MAGIC Decal Tutorial with Free Printables! Some of you may remember, a little while back I posted a tutorial for DIY waterslide decals. Among other things, I mentioned how awesome they are for creating custom embellishments without the need for any fancy-pants equipment. Yep, waterslide decal paper is a truly fab product, though as great as it is, there is one drawback – although it’s somewhat tough it’s not especially durable. So, whilst it’s perfect for ornamental purposes, it’s not ideal for more practical applications…until now that is! Magic decal coating paper is a product designed to be used in conjunction with standard decal paper to make the finished transfers super durable – yes, even dishwasher resistant! If you’re already familiar with magic decal coating paper then please excuse my tardy excitement, though for everyone else who is just getting to the party now too, feel free to start throwing the streamers!
1 Image to transfer. Use anything you like. 2 Printer. You can use either a laser or an inkjet printer. 6 Scissors. 2593-1365459853-14.jpg (625×519) Vintage Book Expanding File. I wanted to have a few new examples for my vintage book planner notebook demo next weekend at the Maker Faire. (Here are some from last year, a few that I will be bringing with me again.) I spied a brand new letter-size expandable file at the thrift store the other day and thought it would be fantastic nestled into a vintage book cover. I have a couple of 3-ring Better Homes & Gardens vintage binder books, one of which I just found today at the recycle area of our county transfer station. They are both perfectly sized for this project, but I chose The Handyman’s Book for its awesome graphics. You can use any hardcover book that fits the expandable file.
I used some 7Gypsies red measure paper tape to cover up the torn hole area and around the inside edges of the book, not because the edges needed it but because that tape just went so well with the design of the book. Cut the headband and pinch the ends together with ribbon end crimps. Place the expandable file into the covers. Share. Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle. My husband and I both have cell phones. And both of us have phone chargers. And that means lots of obnoxious cords.
You never know when one of us may be moving phone cords around, to give our phones an extra charge while we’re chatting away……… or trying to charge our phones up before running errands or something. Needless to say, those phone cords seem to be everywhere…..and are generally in the way and hanging all over the floor. (Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends.
There’s never a perfect place to rest your phone while it’s charging.) I was looking around on the internet for a solution and found this. It made the perfect little holder for my cell phone while it’s being charged. Holder for Charging Cell Phone And no more phone hanging down from the outlet while in this room or that room……..the cord and phone are now up off the ground, and tucked away into the little holder, while the phone drinks up a full charge.
And turns out, it’s pretty useful. 5 Minute DIY- Color Code Your Keys. A Bubbly Life is on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, would LOVE for you to join me there! On Leap Day, I announced A Bubbly Life's Pinterest Project- One Pin At A Time I chose one I desperately needed- coding my keys so I can identify them! I do not know if this will prevent the discussion- Where are My Freaking Keys?! Between my husband & I, but the keys are now looking prettier! My Pinspiration was a post from the lovely blog Happiness is...To Each Their Own. who did a glitter key- But I did not have glitter or glue and did not want to buy any, so I decided to use my new Spring colors set of nail polish I had! I did two coats on each side. The only task that took up time was waiting for one side to dry before painting the other side.
I had to include one of the outtakes- my little helper kept grabbing my props & knocking them over, thank you for your patience cutie! More easy DIYS! Glitter Vase. DIY: Necklace Holder. I found this genius idea to get my necklaces organized from and I thought I'd give it a go. 1. You will need a flat board to attach your knobs unto.
You can be creative with this. For my board I'm using a piece of driftwood that I found at this beach on this trip. I got 4 out of my 5 knobs from our local habitat for humanity store for less than $1.00. 2. 3. 4. And now my necklaces are officially organized! See how I organized my earrings here. xo.
