Easy Utensil Organizer: Using Mason Jars in the Kitchen
Make this simple utensil organizer as a way to keep things tidy in the kitchen. See how I made this utensil organizer with a few craft supplies and mason jars.
What You Will Need
- Wood planter box
- Chalkboard paint
- 3 Wide mouth quart jars
- Paint brush
Instructions
- First use a paint brush to apply chalkboard paint to the entire planter box.I find that it works best to apply a coat in one direction, allow to dry, then apply a coat in the opposite direction. Allow your paint to dry and cure according to the package directions before using.You will then want to use regular chalk over the entire surface to condition it before use.
- For use in the kitchen, I use chalk markers. These are not required but they are slightly more permanent than regular chalk. Once you write on your words and allow it to dry, the writing can only be removed with water. This is much better than regular chalk that can easily be removed just by rubbing against a surface.
- I use one jar for spoons, one for spatulas, and one for miscellaneous utensils. You can definitely customize this project to the needs of your kitchen and use it for what works for you.
- You can easily make this utensil organizer in an afternoon. Have fun customizing it to your needs.
