However, you can fill it with whatever you like. Wouldn't this make a wonderful gift for that man in your life?! Fill it with some "game time" peanuts or candies! How about bringing this to a friend for Easter?! Fill it with some colorful candies or jelly beans! How bout presenting this to your Boss or Co-Worker Friend for Easter?! This would be a great item that they could just leave out on thier desk!
Really the possibilites are endless, just have fun and customize it for the recipient!
Mason Jar Caddy
Supplies:
*1x4 board cut 12" long (you can get this cut FREE at Lowes or Home Depot)
*Handle of your choice
*E6000
*Several 1" nails (I used small brads)
*3 Mason Jars with lids & bands (any size)
*Craft Paint of choice
*Dark Walnut Stain
*Sandpaper
First, take your 1x4 and paint the top & all four sides in color of choice. Let dry completely. Now, sand lightly around the edges to slightly distress it. Wipe a small amount of stain over top the paint, the sanded edges, and the underside. Wipe stain completely off and let dry for about 15 minutes.
Take and put your lids inside your bands, and arrange them onto the board, spacing evenly as shown in photo. Now, take atleast 3-4 nails into the lids to securely attach them to the board.
Now take your handle and with your E6000 attach it to the top of your carrier (the painted side). Let this dry overnite or longer, I prefer 24 hours. Making sure this is centered and the way you want it, cuz once this is dry, it is dry FOREVER!
Once your handle has dried, you can now fill your Mason Jar with Goodies! What a great little Caddy this is! Enjoy!
What the handiest little caddy - and purty too!! This is a fast project I can do without getting A D D !

My hubby has done this out in the "man shed" with his nails and screws...I have never thought of doing this with my craft stuff and having it "in" my home! What a creative idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Char!
What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Yeah my hubby has this in his workshop too, but they are permanent, you can't carry them around. I can think of a number of things I could use this for. I love mason jar Mondays.
ReplyDeleteCool idea thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? So glad I found your blog! What a neat tool that helps convenience look great too.
