For this project, all you'll need is a half to full gallon pickle jar and black spray paint. You will also need some other optional materials to remove the label. There are a variety of ways to tackle this part that we'll discuss below. Before you do anything, be sure to give the inside of your pickle jar a good scrubbing. The last thing you want is your laundry powder picking up a subtle ode de pickle. You may need to wash it multiple times to get the scent out. Once it smells clean, you can proceed to the next steps.
How to turn your pickle jar into a clever laundry storage solution
Your first order of business is taking off that pesky label. You can remove it with a straight razor, but this can be tedious and often leaves behind stubborn residual adhesive. Easily remove labels from glass jars by heating it up with a hair drier and peeling it off. If that doesn't do the trick, try creating a DIY goo gone solution. All you'll need is baking soda and vegetable oil. Mix 2 parts baking soda with 1 part vegetable oil. It should form a thick paste. Soak your jar in warm soapy water for 10 minutes and peel off the majority of the label. Spread on your DIY goo gone and allow it to sit for another 10 minutes. Now all that sticky residue should scrub right off with soap and warm water.

Once your jar label is off, you can turn your attention to the lid. Set it on a piece of cardboard and coat it thoroughly with your black spray paint. You can also choose a different color that suits your color palette best. Allow the lid to dry completely before attaching it to your jar. Repeat this process with more pickle jars if you need more laundry room storage. You can opt to label the jars if you have a label maker. And there you have it: A simple, stylish laundry room organization solution brought to you by your pickle fixation.
