*Le Mason Jar Crafts Caveat
Firstly, let me explain that I am fully aware that 'Mason Jar Crafts' are a trend in the DIY world that falls into the list of things I rattled off yesterday as being redundantly, redundant. Yet as I was asked to make some for a fancy website, I gleefully acquiesced in the hopes it would generate some significant traffic to le blog. I therefore spent a lot of time and effort on these. Alas, not only did my lovely jars come in last place...the traffic she did not appear.
Zut alors!
Regardless, and because I know we ALL need a place to store the copious amounts of maribou, glitter and wired tinsel we keep in our studios...here is the DIY for you, dear reader. Think of all of the supplies that might be fetching lined up in a pretty jar, beads, buttons, pom poms, googly eyes...dare I say that much of what is shoved willy nilly into crevices and corners could make for a delightful display? And I think these quite delightful indeed, so there.
Mais, oui, mon petit chou!

As a professional craft designer, I have an absurd amount of
supplies to keep organized, and I’m always looking for simple and pretty
solutions. Here’s an easy way to turn
some Plain Jane Mason jars into swanky studio storage with a few simple
materials! No need to limit these to the
studio, they could work in any room of the house! For your kitchen, try coffee, tea and
sugar! For the bath, perhaps cotton
balls, Q-tips and dry bubble bath! Change
up the labels and fonts and use them for holiday décor! These are far too pretty to hide! They’re the perfect way to perk up your
counter tops in a flash!
These must be fabulous, look at how many exclamation points I used!
