Re-purpose A Spice Rack

July 19, 2015 by Nanny 3 Comments

Hi!

I thought it time I found a purpose for some more of my Op shop stash!

Some time ago now, I picked up this Spice Rack – nothing exceptional but I was sure I could make good use of it, so today I am going to re-purpose a spice rack.

I thought I would get Poppy to paint it white for me, so while he was off doing that i got thinking!

After searching through the kitchen cupboards, I discovered that I could fit four glass tumblers neatly in the rack

I thought of covering them with fabric or even contact but was looking for a faster, more simple solution – why not try aluminium foil?

I ripped off a piece of the aluminium foil and wrapped it around the tumbler

I folded the top into the tumbler and pressed it firmly

I twisted the bottom

and then flattened it into the curve at the bottom of the tumbler

To give it a touch of ‘interest’, I gripped my hand around the tumbler and twisted carefully

Mmmm that’s different!!  If ever I feel the need for change it certainly will not be hard to dispose of the aluminium foil.

The paint dried and Poppy screwed the rack to the wall and I now have a simple storage solution for my Rotary Cutters – right where they are needed –  over my cutting table.

It looks great and fits nicely above my other op-shop find – my ruler storage that has been painted white as well!

Do you enjoy re-purposing items?  What has been your favourite Op-shop find?  I will have to venture out for another ‘shop’ soon!

Until next time

    Hi Nanny! How nice of you to link up to my Thriving on Thursdays party. It was nice to meet you on Instagram and now here. Thank you so much for linking up your post. I’m a keen op shopper as well and see those spice racks often. I’ll keep this in mind when I’m looking for a small shelf option. Don’t be a stranger. Link up any posts you like. Thanks so much for linking up to Thriving on Thursdays. Hope to see you this Thursday!
