I finally made one! Love it love it love it! It’s up on my website. To address what Chris(UK) said, I agree – either use 2 screws or use some heavy duty glue around the lids – construction glue that can fill in gaps. That has worked so far.

Hi great idea I created something similar as a spice rack using Schwartz refill jars, looks great in the kitchen, only thing might be worth putting two screws offset slightly from centre in the lids??? as after a while of tightening jars the lids will spin round a single central screw. Still great though

This is a great idea! I have a tiny kitchenette in my apartment, and I’ve been in desperate need of more storage space. This is perfect!

I’m totally making this! I was trying to solve the keeping tea in a dark place problem while keeping the look of the jars and I have two ideas. 1) line the inside of the jars with dark tissue paper for appearance and wax paper or parchment paper to hold the tea. 2) (my favorite) paint the outside of the jars with chalkboard paint so that you can write what is inside and erase it when you change out the tea.
