reusing an old spice rack

Great Idea: Spice Rack to Twine Rack by papernstitch

I just found this inventive use for an old spice rack on Natalie Jost’s blog: Easily convert your old spice rack into a twine rack, without any alterations. And if you need some twine to fill the rack, Natalie can help you out there too. Because she runs the Olive Manna shop and she has a great selection of twine just like in the picture.

Upcycle Living: Spice Rack & Street Art-Inspired Cupboard Curtain DIY

A little DIY inspiration this morning to start off the week from the folks at Elle Decor (Thailand). This is a cute project that one could adapt pretty easily. I don't know if I would go so far as making my own shelf from scratch as it shows here, but I'm sure I could find something easily enough (a wine crate?) to decoupage some papers to the back of to make a sweet little spice shelf like this in a jiffy. Just today I saw some jars like that at the dollar store - only $1 each!  This could be a pretty sweet and cheap do-it-yourself!
