Cabinet Door Repurposed into Mason Jar Wall Vase

During a recent trip to a thrift store, I picked up 4 matching cabinet doors.   I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with them at first. I was thinking I would make a sign of some sort, but because of how small the middle portion of the doors are  I decided to turn them into wall vases.    

    Fortunately the cabinet doors were unfinished, without hardware and in great condition, which meant that I could start painting right away.

I painted the doors with a few coats of a creamy white satin paint

and lightly distressed the edges.

Then I added a sawtooth hanger to the back for hanging

and screwed a metal pipe clamp to the front.

I made sure the tightening mechanism on the pipe clamp was facing forward

so that I could loosen and tighten it to hold a jar.

Lastly, I loosened the clamp, slid the mouth of my jar into it

 and tightened the clamp to securely hold my jar.

I made a couple with blue mason jars and a couple with green mason jars.

The pipe clamps can be purchased at any home improvement / hardware store.

They come in a variety of diameters.

  

You can vary this project to suit your space by using different kinds of jars

 and a different backing piece,

The wall vase can hold flowers, a small plant, herbs, pencils, make up brushes

or even a votive candle.

    What would you use it for?   Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your day!     Oh, I almost forgot, I have a couple other cabinet door projects here and here.     'til next time,         Linking to: Vintage Inspiration Party Whats Your Prodigal Piece Catch as Catch Can All Things Heart and Home The DIY Dreamer
