1. Clean and prepare mason jars (see tips below).
  2. Choose a sturdy shelf wide enough to fit the lids of your mason glass jars. Turn the shelf upside down on a flat surface.
  3. Using a ruler, evenly space the lids across the shelf length, with equal amounts of space on either end.
  4. Turn lids upside down and mark their places by tracing around the outer edges.
  5. Keeping each on its marked spot, attach each to the shelf with two small, evenly spaced screws. (Using two keeps the lid from unscrewing itself when you twist off a jar.)
  6. Hang shelf securely to wall with its own mounts.  Fill mason jars; screw onto lids.

Preparation Tips



Editor’s Note: Don’t have mason jars available? Any old jar will do! Just make sure your jar has a lid and that you follow the directions above!
