At Dollar Tree, you’ll find many storage jars, but you may think they’re a little plain. Instead of passing up a $1.25 bargain, you can upgrade them with a simple DIY.

Person spray-painting jar lids
Once you’ve chosen the jars that best suit your purposes, simply remove the lids and spray-paint them gold. Do this outside so as to prevent fumes filling your home.
