Tip Jar for the Laundry Room

For years, I collected all the change (that Hubster and Pumpkin tipped me for my amazing laundry services) in a jam jar.

As soon as I ordered the custom decal for my laundry soap canister, I decided to revamp my tip jar. It’s took me a while to get around to blogging about it.

I followed the same steps as I did before. I carefully cleaned a spice jar from Penzeys. After gluing a drawer pull to the top of the lid, I coated them with oil-rubbed bronze spray paint. Finally, I applied the decal to the front of the glass.

Vintage Laundry Room Decor

Nestled inside our powder room, the laundry closet is the ugliest “room” in our house. Hubster thinks it’s silly to decorate an area of the home that is hidden, but I’m the one who spends time staring at these boring walls and want to start sprucing up the laundry area.

These vintage laundry wringer and box iron images are from the Graphics Fairy. Using the collage canvas option in Fotor, I arranged the graphics and added typography. I printed my new images on white paper and slipped them into frames. The black picture frames were $3 at the local dollar store.

Of course, it would have looked even better if I used a large frame and a 8″x10″ mat. Maybe someday I’ll upgrade…

Turn a giant pickle jar into a beautiful detergent canister for your laundry room.

Two weeks ago, I noticed this enormous jar staring at me in the garage. At one point, it had been Pumpkin’s change jar. I’ve been waiting to beautify my laundry closet (nestled in our powder room) for sometime and thought this would be a wonderful starter project. Quickly, I designed and ordered a decal and gathered my materials (including, one of my grandmother’s teacups as scoop).

Laundry Detergent Canister

Materials:
large pickle jar, spray paint, superglue, drawer pull, and a custom vinyl decal (or glass paint), scoop or teacup

Directions:
Throughly clean all materials. Glue knob to center of the lid and allow to set. Coat the lid with spray paint and allow to dry. Apply decal to front of jar (be aware of any seams on the jar). Fill with powder detergent. Voila!

XOXO,
