Renewed Containers

Have a bunch of old, empty jars taking up counter space? Here is an easy way to turn them into cute containers! I took a quick trip to Lowes to grab some wooden knobs and spray paint. I forgot to take a picture for you guys, but the paint I used was black hammered metal spray paint. It has a textured finish and is great at hiding imperfections. I started things by screwing the knobs onto the lids. Once they were secured, I took them outside for a few coats of paint.

 
While I waited for my lids to dry, I hit my jars with some Goo Gone. It is amazine how well it will take off a sticky mess! Here is a before pic

 
Once my labels were gone and my jars were washed, I found things to fill them up with. I had three jars, so I decided on cotton swabs, cotton balls and bobby pins. Check out the finished product!
 Viola! Now I have something cute to keep my bathroom supples in. I am thinking about doing this on an oversized jar next and filling it with guest soaps and hair products for my guest bathroom.
