From Pickle Jar to Bathroom Storage {DIY}



 
I cannot believe I have been away for so long! Ryan and I have been trying to spend as much time together and doing last minute summer things before I start back to school on Monday. It is still weird to say "back to school." Where did the summer go? I have one more semester of college; bittersweet. Although I will still be working during the semester, I feel I have a few months left before I truly start the "big girl" career. Here's to one more semester of college!!!
 
Now to the easy and cute DIY.
What you will need:
1. Pickle Jars
2. Spray Paint
3. Chalkboard stickers
4. Things to fill jars
 
Step 1: Soak the pickle jar in HOT water for about 30-40 minutes. I found it easy to keep the jars submerged in the water by placing my cutting board on top. This will make it easy to peel the sticker off.
Step 2: Remove all the lids and spray paint {I used yellow to match out grey and yellow bathroom}. I do not recommend using a glossy spray paint; it takes a lot of coats to not see the green lid.
Step 3: Place a chalkboard sticker on the jar for labeling. You can get a pack of chalkboard stickers for about $2 at Hobby Lobby.
Step 4: Fill the jars! I filled mine with cotton, Q-tips, make-up wedges, and floss picks.
