Running out of storage space? The underside of your shelf is a nifty spot to suspend glass jars that will be neatly tucked away yet also a perfect display.

YOU WILL NEED:

A wooden shelf

Glass jars

16mm-long screws

A drill and drill bit

WHAT TO DO:

1. Mark two evenly spaced spots inside the underside of each jar lid.

2. Using a metal drill bit, make a small hole through the lid (big enough for the screws to fit through).

3. Place the lids upside down on the underside of the shelf where you want to position the jars. Screw the lids into the shelf.

4. Attach the glass jars.
