Re-purpose A Spice Rack

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
