Hanging Mason Jar Organizer


Along with being a desk organizer, it also serves as a nice little accent to a bare wall.
This is a quick and easy craft that costs less than $10 and takes less than 10 minutes to make. This also makes a perfect little homemade gift.
What you’ll need:
  • 2 mason jars
  • One or two different colored ribbons
  • About two feet of twine
  • E-6000 glue
  • A cute tin about 10 in long and 3.5 in wide (I found the one pictured at Michaels) – if you’re going to hang this on a wall, make sure it has handles
Start by unscrewing the top off the mason jar and removing the lid. You can keep the band on for added character.
Next, cut a ribbon about a foot long. Put a dab of E-6000 glue on the back of the band and stick the center of the ribbon on the glue dab. This will dry in a few minutes, making it easier to tie a little bow.
Do this with both mason jars.
Now just set them on both sides of the tin.
If your tin has handles, take twine and tie it to each handle, creating an easy way to hang the organizer. This saved me a lot of desk space and also added a cute accent to my wall.
Screw a small hook or nail into the wall to hang the organizer. If you want, add a ribbon to the hook for a little added personality.
To complete the look, put a few cards, envelopes, post-its, etc. in between the mason jars and hang on the wall hook.
Now just add pens, scissors, or anything to the mason jars and you’ve got a quick and easy organizer!
