Using Bonne Maman Jars For Storage in the Craft Room



Are you ready for some jam jar over load? I have some Bonne Maman Jars and actually some ikea jars that are pretty and empty at the moment. Currently in my craft room I have a giant bonne maman jar with gardeners twine in it.. perfect size. Annnd i have stripy straws in another one that I lost the lids from. They're in the room somewhere! Somewhere being the operative word ^_^ All the images should be linked to their original sources. 




I love the stacks of Bonne Maman jars from this magazine article but I couldn't work on that table top. Too many things on it! 


oo I have a jar with labels in it too. Perfect height for those! I love those wee red peel back jar lids. The point of this post is - I have lots of jars but don't know what to store in the empty ones! I have lots of little things that could go into the mini jars.. but no mini jars! The ordinary sized ones. Also.. not sure about display. I have one of the purple lidded ones where I store my stamps (for journalling) and proper postal stamps not rubber ones. They live in an ikea box. 

Ooo the Karel Capek tin! I looove it!! I want all those lovely jars. Is it bad to want to buy lots of mini jam jars? So pretty. 




 Pretty roses! I don't use little roses but I do have a takeout tub plastic box with prima roses in it. (Scrapbooking flower embellishments) I shall try that out in one of my jars ^_^


Pretty. Just pretty. I like the ric rac and little spools ^_^



This is smart! For little Moo Cards. I like it.  





This is a gorgeous shot ^_^ Ive seen lots of these on wedding photo type things on Pinterest. very popular indeed.  



Screwing to the underside of shelf. Gibbs did that in his basement in NCIS years ago! An old school handy man tool. I can't say I like the look but that's cuz Im a big weird OCD type can't be distracted by visual clutter person. 



Love this shelf on Memi The Rainbow flickr page. Although I couldn't cope with all those things out on display. I like space on my shelves. Im a weirdo yes I know. I do like the thought of everything being organised like this ^_^


I couldn't find a source for this link. That pencil sharpener is genius! Im definitely going to do this one with one of the mini jars. I have some of the honey but they're blue lids. These would also be quite handy for crafting while travelling or in a tote when you're on the move. I think the second picture is a magnet. The blog I found this image is here and the original link they posted brought back a 404 so I didn't see the point in adding it in. 




Clear beads in the bottom or sand would make this beautiful indeed. Or even a full on candle in the jar. I suppose if that votive was a little bigger all the wax would melt down anyway. I love putting the yankee votives in baby food jars. ^_^ 


Lots of love Claire xo
