Mason Jar Bathroom Organizer

If you have been reading my blog for any time at all, you will know that I am just starting to wrap up my master bathroom redo!

It's ALMOST done... 1 more small project and I am DONE!

This particular part of the Master Bath (there are 3 rooms...dumb, I know) has only a small sink/vanity, so counter space is a little valuable.  I have seen a few different mason jar projects out there, so I figured I would combine it all into one project and save some counter space.

And this does stick with my free-to-me month :o)  

   

I rolled with 2 different ideas here. Have you seen Not Just a Housewife's Mason Jar Wall Planter?

and the many Mason Jar Soap dispensers out there.

via Blissfully Content.

Yeah, see the similarities?

I started with a scrap piece of wood and 3 metal pipe clamps (I think these things are about a buck.)

I undid the ring and placed the pipe clamp where I wanted it to go (I started with the middle one in the center because that was easiest) and used a metal drill bit to put a small hole through the clamp. 

Then using a 3/4 inch wood screw, I screwed the pipe clamp to the wood.

Repeat the process with all 3 pipe clamps.

Now to the mason jars... 2 of them remained untouched.

For the 3rd one, I used the same metal drill bit that I used to drill through the pipe clamps.  I created a bunch of tiny holes in a circle that was the width as the inner ring of my soap dispenser pump.  (The pump came from an old rusty soap dispenser that I wasn't using anymore)  Once I had all the holes drilled, I was able to very easily knock through it with a screwdriver until my pump fit nicely inside.  As you can see, it's not a perfectly clean job... but you can't see this anyway!

I screwed the board into drywall anchors on the wall (if you can find studs it would be even better!) I left the screws visible because I liked the look of it.  The silver just adds a little flair to the otherwise white space.

I hung it just to the right of the sink so that everything is easy to access. 

The soap dispenser is my favorite part.

This was a very practical solution for us that even turned out to be cute!

I'm on the lookout for some vintage mason jars to clamp in here instead, I think they would look even more fabulous. The beauty of the pipe clamps is that they are really easy to change out!

I think I need another one of these for the guest bathroom with 2 pumps.  One with soap and one with lotion :o)

UPDATE:  If you would like to see the completed master bathroom... you can find that Here!

Hope you had a fabulous Halloween yesterday!  B.I.G. things to share in the next few days (my orange minibar is gone!!)
