DIY-Er Turns Dollar Tree Jars Into Coffee Bar Storage With This Hack

Upgrading your coffee bar at home can be as simple as purchasing some of these Aldi coffee bar finds, or even buying a few coffee station essentials from the Dollar Tree. But what if you are struggling to find something both cute and practical for storing your coffee pods? This is where these DIY coffee pod jars from Cozy DIY Home's Christina Dennis comes in. With this simple little upgrade, you can spruce up your caffeine setup, elevating your space and clearing up some clutter while you are at it, too!

We all know that coffee pods take up space on the counter, and those paper boxes they come in do nothing for the aesthetic of your carefully curated morning brew station. But with some glass jars, gold spray paint, and a few knobs, this storage hack is sure to be a hit. As an added bonus, you don't even have to leave the house to scrounge for materials for this little project; everything can be purchased online in case you just don't have the time to make a trip to your local Dollar Tree. Items like the Romeda 12-Piece Drawer Knobs, Ball Mason Jars, and Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint on Amazon will work.

To create these handy storage jars for her coffee pods, Dennis starts off with some glass jars she purchased from the Dollar Tree. She spray paints the lids gold and lets them dry. For the final touch, Dennis proceeds to glue on some gold cabinetry knobs with a hot glue gun. Voila! These upgraded jars are ready for use on any countertop or shelf.

For some added flair, you could put sticker labels – like these Impeea Kraft Label Stickers — on each jar for every type of coffee you have on hand. And instead of using gold spray paint, experiment with textured spray paint or faux stone finishes to tailor these jars to your personal taste and match your kitchen's style. Add some ribbon or natural twine, fill with your favorite brand of coffee, and these jars have become the perfect DIY housewarming present for coffee aficionados. 

And for those of you who don't use coffee pods or drink coffee, these jars can be repurposed and filled with coffee grounds, loose leaf tea, or even tea bags. Replicating this innovative kitchen storage hack with smaller jars could be a great way to organize coffee stirrers or small measuring spoons, and you can even use this trick to store coffee add-ins like raw or cubed granulated sugar, too — the possibilities are truly endless. Whatever you choose to store in these jars, this simple DIY hack is definitely one you don't want to skip.
