Recycled Beauty: DIY Door Knob Beauty Jars

“Get organized”… just one of the many goals I set for 2014! Are any of you planning to do the same? I stopped making New Year “resolutions” long ago because I never seemed to accomplish any of them. Now I set New Year goals! The term goal just seems a little more positive an attainable.

January kicks of the (what seems to be year-long) project of getting my life organized. I usually start with my home…. my kitchen, my closet, my desk and my bathroom. I love using recycled materials to help keep me organized. I used old jars and bottles to hold odds and ends so that everything has its place. Adding a door knob to the lids of your jars is a great way go glam up a vanity while keeping the clutter minimal.

For this project you’ll need: a jar, a door knob, painters tape, spray paint and glue

Use the painters tape to cover the knob, leaving the base exposed. Paint your jar’s lid and the base of your door knob. Allow a half hour to dry.

Once it’s dry, use a health amount of glue to attach the knob to the lid.

Here’s another organizing tip… I used an old Chanel accessories box to keep all my bobby pins. Having random pins scatters across my bathroom drives me crazy. Although it’s funny I can never seem to find one when I really need it!! I’ve also seen pins stored in old votive candle holders (here) which is also an adorable idea. I keep all my jars on this simple silver tray I picked up at the dollar store. Do you have any organization tips? I’d love to hear them!
