Not to long ago I shared with you, how I organized my spices.
Want to know what I did with all of those empty spice containers?
Most of them got sent to the garage where I plan on one day using them to organize all of our nails, screws, and other small items. However, the nutmeg and alum tins were just too cute to hide away in the garage. SO instead, they found a new home on our fridge.
They are perfect for holding pens and pencils.
These were so easy to make. I just popped the lid off, stuck a couple heavy duty magnets to the fridge, then stuck the tins to the magnets. No gluing required.

Cute idea. Thought about doing this with soup cans too. My husband is afraid te tin would eventually scratch the fridge though. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteThe magnets I used are very rough and would definitely scratch the fridge. I ended up tearing off a small piece of a paper towel and placing it between the fridge and magnet. You can't see the paper towel at all and there are no scratched on the fridge.
DeleteThey look so cute!I do this too:) I've got a mounted box holding pen and paper - for writing the grocery list!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a box too!! However, it was destroyed during our last move.
DeleteSuch a great idea! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI need to find some tine to do this. Hmmm. Doing a charity shop trawl for something else today, maybe I'll spot a tin or two as well.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea! I use these spice tins and hate putting them in the recycle bin. This is a great way to recycle them and also have an interesting conversation starter on the fridge. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteSo fun and cute!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of this. So clever and so appropriate for a kitchen.
ReplyDeleteSuch an easy idea and perfect for those pens that always get misplaced!
