I bet many of you have the same old expired spice rack somewhere in your pantry! I know I did for years... I used maybe 3 or 4 of the spices on it and the rest... yuck... expired! All it did was take up room and collected grease and dust! I think I'm a pretty good cook but some of these spices I hadn't even heard of! So just before I was about to get rid of it I thought why not repurpose it?! It makes the perfect place for all my buttons... So out with the spices and in with the buttons!
After a good cleaning, I sorted all the buttons I had by color. Before my buttons were in little baggies and out of sight, now I can see all the pretty colors! I also peeled off all the greasy spice labels and glued on the top of the bottles a black circle that I cut out with a punch. I haven't decided whether or not yet to glue a coordinating button on the outside yet... we shall see :)
Hope you like the spice rack makeover... what is your spice rack doing? This would also be a great idea for all those little crafty/office supplies, or maybe even for hubby's garage nails... Ok, only if your feeling really generous, lol!
Happy Crafting everyone,
Thanks for stopping by!

What a fun idea! I wish I had a spice rack that I don't need but alas :(
ReplyDeleteDon't worry... one day your spice rack will need to be replaced... then you'll know what to do with it Lena! *wink, wink*
DeleteHi, Ilda
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! You can see all the buttons you have now. I'll have to see about finding one of these old spice rack.

I'm sure they can't be that hard to find... You could probably find a few in the thrift shops Vanessa!
