I've been organizing my hobby room and needed a few jars for scissors, markers, etc, but nothing coordinated with my room. Then it came to me. The painted jars from Pinterest! They're all over the place and look SUPER easy to make. So I used some of my fave martha stewart craft paints and swirled them in two of the jars, then a tad of the paint from my pegboard and swirled it in the third jar. Voila! Pretty, functional and in perfect sync with the rest of the room. Next time I'll take the time to find prettier bottles and create a more pleasing composition of five or so jars, these are random $ store acquisitions and for the time being they do the job. If you want to see the original pin I followed click here.
