I’m in love with the new shower curtain I bought for my kids bathroom. (target) The colors and design are just too fun. I decided to decorate some jars that we could hold cotton balls, Q-tips and cotton rounds in. The result makes me so happy. I love the way our pickle jars turned into such pretty storage.
We were recently sent some of the brand new Americana multi-surface Satin paint. I’ve been a fan of Americana paints for many years… so I was excited to give these a try.
Supplies:
• pickle jars – or other glass jars with lids
• Americana multi-surface paint – we used the colors pumpkin patch, pink cadillac, coastal waters
• curio knobs (we used the tim holtz ones found at michaels)
• paint brushes
• E-6000 glue
Steps:
• I put my pickle jars and lids through a couple cleaning cycles in the dishwasher
• We picked out 3 colors and gave each lid about 4-5 coats. (I should have gave them a quick coat of grey primer – it would have saved me a couple coats – the words on the lids can be a pain to cover completely)
• Then we put them aside and let them air cure for 7 days
• We took the bottom screw out of our curio knobs and used the E-6000 to glue the knobs to the center of each lid.
• Let that dry for another 24 hours and then they are ready to be used

Where did you get the pack of knobs?
You can find knobs at Target. I use spray paint to paint jars.
Yep, thinking I need to do this for my daughters hair accessories in the kids bathroom. So super cute!
I love the colors you used! So bright and fun; and what a genius idea!
Thank you for idea.Great! 🙂
Simple and sweet! This just feeds my need to save jars.

Love the jars but where did you find the curio knobs? I have been looking for some for a couple of years and have not been successful. Thanks for any help.
These are Tim Holtz and can be purchased at Michael's or JoAnns, or online at a scrapbook store or amazon.
What a fantastic Idea I was just shopping for something like this today ~ Lisa
Aaaah, those jars are the cuuuuuuutest- esp. the darling color & knob combos. (Wishing I could insert my heart eye'd emoticon from my iPhone here! LOL) xoxo
What kind of paintbrush works best? Foam or bristle? I don't know if I could get coverage that even. The jars look amazing.
When you painted the lids, did it leave brush strokes? I’m using a sponge paint brush and it’s leaving stroke lines.
Hi Margaret! We used regular brushes and they did leave slight brush strokes. If you hate the stroke lines you could try a few thin coats of spray paint instead? Sorry about that! 🙁
Where did you find the curio knobs!
Love the jars! They are super cute! Love the colors and decorative knobs! Great idea!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love the VIBRANT show curtain and the jars, so gorgeous, the knobs are nice, I want some!
very cute!!!
I think this is a cute way to use some glass jars I hate to throw away. I love that shower curtain and how the lids match. It's all colorful and cheerful. Thank you for sharing your idea.
Ladies, the curio knobs are by Tim Holtz at Michaels. She has that listed next to them in the supply list.
In the middle of redecorating a bedroom and bathroom for a "Guest Room" and I LOVE this idea!
Love love… LOVE!!
Adding the cute door knobs is such a good idea! Love these
I Love this yes adding the knobs made it I will be visiting more often, Fantastic!!!
This is a great idea for any room that needs a little storage! Love it!
Read in her supply list….curio knobs (we used the tim holtz ones found at michaels)
Love this!
I found the same exact knobs at Michael's for 8.99

so cute !!!!
Loving this idea, especially the cute little knobs. Thank you, thank you! Going to try this soon.
Can you use wall paint? Just moved into a brand new house and have paint left over from the bedrooms.
I would think it would work alright. You'll have to let us know. 🙂
I will for sure let you know. Also, instead of super gluing the knobs on, I used the screws that came with it, cut the screws down, and screwed the knob on. Worked great! Now I just need to the knobs back off and paint. I'm thinking of spraying an acrylic sealer over the paint. It might make it more shiny
Great ideas!!
Where is that cake stand from?!
That one is from Pier 1. 🙂
Excellent idea to use the brown paper template. I collect clocks also but have never displayed them well. I will give this a try.
IS THERE A WAY TO AVOID HAVING TO UNSCREW THE JARS? MAKING IT EASIER AND THE KNOBS USEFUL?
The jars are great for this! I love the idea! Thanks for the post!
I have to try this! Thanks for sharing a great idea.
