Cheap and Easy Tool and Craft Storage Made with Stuff You Already Have

When we moved into our house three years ago, we acquired a lot of extra wood and screws.  Add to this the plethora of peanut butter, jelly, pickle, marinara, and baby food jars we have lying around.  With a little creativity and only a few tools, I managed to find a solution to both of the above problems.

Tools:

• Jars – all shapes and sizes are fine (I used a peanut butter jar this time)
• Scrap wood – I used 6″x18″ approximately, but you can choose the size depending on your need
• Screws – to fit the depth of the wood and also to hang up the storage
• Hammer
• Screwdriver

Instructions:

1. Gather materials.
2. Grab a jar lid and screw.  Hammer the screw threw the center of the lid to poke a hole in it.
3. Place the jar lid where you want to attach it to the wood, then screw the lid onto the wood.
4. Screw the jar onto the lid… voila!  Storage!
5. When adding more lids to the wood, leave an inch or two between them, so you have room to grasp the jars.
6. This could be decorated and hung on the wall for craft storage.
7. Or hung on the ceiling in the shop.
8. I made one and then my husband made one!
