adding fabulous to same old


take a shelf.  any shelf and put a hole in it.  put the mason jar in the hole and YOUR DONE. haha.. im jk, there a little more then that.  but in a nut shell.

mason jar shelf insert container tools needed:
the goods: shelf, mason jar, a hole cutter
the oops: o-ring, and super glue


im NOT a carpenter.  i got my at a thrift store for $3 bucks
 THE HARD PART.  my dad had a hole saw attachment for a drill gun
 **do not.  I REPEAT DO NOT cut it like this.   we want to keep those fingers.
and vWAH-LA, a hole. 


step added in because hole was too big - always leave room for error.  most always you WILL have some sort of hiccup. dont flip out. IT HAPPENS ;)
i added a o-ring that was laying around, secured with some super glue.  MAKE SURE you hold in place for 30 sec and it will stay.  
place lid on top, screw in jar.  the band will rest on the self and hold it up.

i added PRETTY, but you can use it by the door for change or keys. use those creative juices. 


now sit back and ENJOY.  that was fun!


the option
**keep an eye out**
i will be adding hooks for jackets/hats/etc.  ALSO i was making the hole with my dad and thought "wouldn't it be CLEVER to add three jars and make more of a flower/stuff holder?!!".  loved the idea so much i measured this one out so that the jar was evenly on the left and will be making holes for TWO MORE mason jars.    ***PICS TO COME***
