Mason Jar Bathroom Storage

Easy way to add storage to your bathroom. When the mason jars are dirty, slip them out, wash them in the dishwasher then put them back. Love it for my kids' toothbrushes! Full tutorial here: http://lollyjane.com/diy-mason-jar-bathroom-...

ps: I accidentally posted this under my personal account so if you see the same project/same pics on Lolly Jane's account, that's where is was SUPPOSED to be, lol (:

    Toothbrushes should air dry - avoid a case unless it's in a travel bag - then air dry soon as possible. Yes - close the lid when you flush. The aerosol spray from the toilet can go 6 feet or better. Question is, where is your bath towel? Signed, Dental Hygienist.

    Yes, I would use this technique in my workroom, where I could keep my calligraphy pens and various other supplies! Are those metal parts, clamps that you used?

    Has no one watch the episode from Mythbusters, they had proven the whole toilet and tooth brush theory.

    Why not use the bigger jars and the lids to go with them and instead of putting sealing cap on use fabric so they get the air and are more protected from flushing splatter.

    Thanks, Kelly S! I just noticed we made the best of 2012! Wahoo!! Sara, aka dental hygenist ;) they're from World Market. Love that store. And yes, they're metal clamps, Lisa. And for the record...the cleanliness of these has been talked about over and over. You do what you feel is best for you, I'll do the same for me..deal? (;

    Lolly I have had the same thing in my bathroom for a year and we are still alive! And yes they are ..... near the toilet god forbid! People are so quick to assume others don't know how to survive. Shut up for gods sake!!! This is a great idea and has worked for us too.

    I am not one to dismiss that a toilet is nasty. But when you think about 4-6-8 people in a modern home with 2-3-4 bathrooms, the dangers are not as high today as they used to be with a family of 6-8 using the 1 bathroom! Or how about a 100 or so years ago when most Americans used outhouses? And no, these were not used only in backwoods areas!

    You guys crack me up. We have 4 kids in a 2 bedroom house. Soon we'll transform a dead space to a half bath but what do you do when 4 kids under 10 are trying to brush their teeth at the same time? It's very convenient and our 3 yr old can easily brush her own teeth when it's laid out this way. We do put the caps on them now, for the record...

    Wow!!! This thread is still going strong Lolly Jane B LOL! It's been a while since I've had a chance to make it back on here but it just cracks me up that you have had such a huge response on here....My parents house in Australia Has only one Bath room and there were 5 of us kids and my parents.. The bathroom wasn't all that big and I remember us all trying to get ready for School in the morning Brushing our teeth and Baths ...»
    Showers Etc... but the Toilet(Loo as we called it) was a whole separate room of it's own with a door and it was off the Laundry Room. Just a toilet and nothing else... I actually prefer it like that... They should make all Bathrooms like this... Just Sayin. <WINK> ;)

    First of all, I LOVE this idea! It is so cute! Im sorry, but all this talk of germophobia made me laugh! If it really concerned you so much about what goes flying when you flush the toilet, then why not have a separate room for it! I live in New Zealand, where it is not abnormal for the toilet to be in its own little room (with or without a small wash basin), and for the shower/bath/vanity to be next door. Not only is it great for not having to worry about what may or may not be floating ...»
    around, but it means you are never worried about getting caught short while someone is relaxing in the tub or taking an extra long shower.

    ...there are actually way more germs in your kitchens than there will EVER be in your bathrooms ladies...I believe that they tested this problem on "mythbusters" as well...and found that there really are no hazards when you keep your bathroom clean..

    I love mason jars -- really any kind of glass jar -- for storage. They are versatile, always look good, and are inexpensive and frequently easily scored at yard sales.

    I'm enjoying the comments as much as the craft...what would we ever do without the idiots who don't know as much as we do, the idiots who think they know more than we do, and the good people who are in complete agreement with us? ;)

    love this idea! it's so cute... I think I'd mount several jars on a piece of wood and hung it up as one long strip :)
