How to Make a Magnetic Spice Rack
Messy cabinets, rolling jars, tipping bottles, and spilled spices can now be a thing of the past with a magnetic rack for all your yummy seasonings.
Instructions
- Step 1: Mark corner holes Use a permanent marker to mark the location for four screw holes in the corners of the steel sheet, approximately 1/4 inch from the edges.
- Step 2: Drill holes Lay the sheet of steel on a worktable and drill four holes at the marked locations.
- TIP: Choose a surface that can be drilled while drilling the sheet of steel.
- Step 3: Screw into the wall Screw the steel sheet into the location you have chosen -- preferably a wall or solid core door -- using four screws.
- Step 4: Hot glue magnets Wash the aluminum canisters, and glue a magnet to the back of each, using liberal amounts of hot glue. Allow the glue to set for 30 minutes.
- Step 5: Fill with spices Fill each aluminum canister with a different spice.
- Step 6: Label spices Write the name of each spice on its respective case to keep them organized.
- Step 7: Arrange on steel Arrange the canisters on the sheet of steel in any order you choose. Enjoy the beautiful colors, the easy access, and the awesome organization of your spices.
- FACT: The most expensive spice in the world is saffron. It takes anywhere from 70,000 to 225,000 purple saffron crocuses to make 1 pound of saffron.
