Yay!!! I get to check one more item off of my list of projects.
I've always had issues organizing our spices. I've tried storing them in a cabinet, spice organizers, and our current situation... stuffed in the corner of our pantry.
Nothing was working. I finally decided to take them out of their original containers and put them all in baby food jars. This worked out for two reasons:
- I no longer have to deal with several different shapes and sizes. I now only have two sizes. (I would have preferred to used all larger baby food jars but I didn't have enough so I just used the larger ones for the spices we use most often.)
- They all fit nicely inside a drawer next to the stove.
Oh, wait... I don't have a silhouette!! However, if I did have one, I'm sure I could have made some amazing labels :)
Without a silhouette I had to resort to google search. I found these free printable ones that I liked. I set all my spices on the kitchen table and discovered a few doubles. (This is why I need to organize them.)
I cut out all the labels, wrote the spices on them with a pen, then glued them on using some mod podge and added a couple coats of mod podge on top. Once the tops were dry I put the spices in and stuck everything into the drawer. Ta da.....
Now I have all my spices in a convenient location next to the stove and I don't have to worry about them getting lost in the back of a cupboard.

LOVE this idea....with a drawer NEXT to the stove!!! Thank you for ALL you share & show!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI really like this but I do not have a good location like this....I think I may have to do something similar though! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of having them in a drawer next to the stove, rather than in a cupboard!
ReplyDeleteMine are in a spice rack I picked up for 20 bucks. Each of the containers (there are 12) is a brightly coloured ceramic and I just love them, so they're on display on our open shelves beside the stove.
I have a super picky husband-to-be, though, so I don't cook with spices all that often!
That is such a great idea!!! Good job and thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI need do something with all my spices. This is a great idea.
ReplyDeletePretty good idea! I just don't have asess to baby food jars. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure a collection of same size jars will work as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute idea! :)
ReplyDeletegreat idea! I had a friend tell me one time that I need to alphabetize my spices which was great in theory but there were so many sizes that it wasn't practical.
ReplyDeleteI organized my spice drawer the same way, but using canning jars. Really love the cute lid labels though...might have to break out the Modge Podge!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I was about to link up my spice drawer at IHeart Organization and I noticed your link - and I'm so happy someone used my labels and liked them! Thanks for linking back to them. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your labels!! Although I think I may redo them and actually type the spice names onto them instead of handwriting them. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them.
DeleteAwesome idea! I need to get my spices organized in a better way.
