Bathroom Organizer – Get Rid Of The Clutter!

Keeping your bathroom space clean can be a struggle. With toothbrushes, combs, Q-tips, and various other hygiene products, ensuring everything is kept tidy is a headache.

We made a bathroom organizer using mason jars that you can make at home to alleviate your bathroom headaches. This bathroom storage organizer is easy to make and will keep your bathroom space neat and double as the best decoration piece for any vanity, cabinet, or shelf.

Bathroom Organizer Part 1: Mason Jar Holder

There are two separate parts to making your bathroom organizer. Start making a storage mason jar holder for your space with the instructions below.

Step 1: Materials

Before tackling this part of the storage DIY project, you’re going to need to gather a few things first:

• Wood planks (we used wood from a pallet)
• Screws and screwdriver
• Decorative ribbon
• Jigsaw
• Sander and sandpaper
• Tape measure
• Hot glue gun and glue

Step 2: Measurements

In this step, you’ll be measuring out the wood planks to make your mason jar holder. You’ll need to measure out the four walls of the rectangle and a bottom piece.

For our storage holder, the longer sides are 11.5 in. long and 3.5 in. wide. The shorter sides measured out to be 3.25 in. long and 3.5 in. wide. Our pallet board is 10  in. long and 3  in. wide for the base of our storage holder.

Step 3: Cut the Boards

Next, cut the boards to the size of the measurements you’ve just marked. We used a jigsaw to make smooth cuts for our mason jar holder. The good rule of “Measure twice, cut once” applies well here, so double-check to ensure everything is the correct size.

Then, cut the boards precisely, so you don’t have to do anything over again for this storage DIY.

Step 4: Sanding the boards

After you have cut the boards of the holder to store the mason jars to the size, it’s time to sand it down. We used a hand sander and 150 grit sandpaper to smooth our boards. We ensured the edges of the board were smoothed down first, then moved on to the rest of the boards for this storage project.

Step 5: Construct the holder

Now that everything is sanded, the next step is to create a holder to store the mason jars. To do this, screw all the pieces that form the walls together on the corners, then screw in the base. We went for a roughed-up appearance and didn’t pre-drill holes, which caused some cracks in the wood, giving us the look we wanted.

For a cleaner look,  pre-dill the holes to avoid cracks in your boards.

Step 6: Decorate the holder

Finishing off your mason jar holder by decorating it. We used hot glue and a decorative ribbon around the entire holder to decorate it. You could also use paint or a combination of the two to make it your own.

Bathroom Organizer Part 2: Mason Jars

The second part of your bathroom organizer will involve using mason jars to make them suitable for bathroom storage.

Step 1: Materials

Collect all these items before you start on the final part of your bathroom storage organizer.

• Mason jars (3)
• Acrylic paint
• Paintbrush
• Mason jar toothbrush holder
• Mason jar light
• Twine
• Painters tape

Step 2: Painting the jars

The first step is to paint your mason jars. We used black acrylic paint for our jars, but you can use a different color if you want. Painting the jars was as simple as putting your hand in the jar and spinning it around to cover the whole jar with paint.

We liked how the jars looked best when the bottoms weren’t painted, so we avoided painting that area. Using painter’s tape, we made a clear stripe in the middle of one of our jars. We did this because this jar would be used as a light, so we wanted some light to shine through the jar. The light will give the vanity, cabinet, or shelf a soft glow.

Step 3: Accessorize the jars

Once the paint on the jars has dried, you can use lid accessories to prepare their bathroom. We used a lid with holes drilled into it to hold toothbrushes and a lid with a light on it.

You can find both for this storage organizer at Hobby Lobby near the mason jars. For our third mason jar, we left it open so you could put anything you want into it, but you can also buy a soap dispenser lid if that interests you.

Step 4: Finishing touches

The final step for your storage mason jars is to add some finishing touches. We decided that the best way to do this was to tie some twine around the top of the jars. The twine is the best for our jar holder, as it matches the color of the wood.

Both parts of the bathroom organizer are now complete, and you are ready to show it off in your bathroom. Place the mason jar holder wherever you see fit on your vanity, and then store your jars in it. You can also store this storage organizer on a shelf or cabinet.

This bathroom organizer is sure to keep your bathroom space clean and decorated.
