Spice Rack

I have finally finished my spice rack! Yay! I think I have had this project planned for over a year now. I just haven't gotten around to it. So I finally took charge, and I decided I was going to get this project completed! Do you remember when I posted my laundry room and I posted this picture of my spice rack on the laundry room door?

 

Awful, right?!

Here is the new and improved, finished product...

 So, here is how I did it. First, I spray painted the spice rack. This was just one of those coated wire racks that you buy at Lowes or Home Depot. It was already on the door when we moved in. I used Krylon's Metallic Brilliant Silver spraypaint. I had bought the small jars at Michaels in the wedding section. They were actually made for wedding favors. I had seen the same jars at various stores, but they usually ran around $1 a piece. This pack had 18 in it. It has been a while since I bought these, so I am thinking they were somewhere around $18 (because I think they were the same price as everywhere else until I used the coupon) and then I used a 40% off coupon. Just a tip...never buy anything from Michaels, JoAnns, or Hobby Lobby without a coupon and you will save a ton of money! They always have coupons on their websites or you can sign-up for their mailing lists. So, I got a great deal on the jars. I bought the larger jars at the dollar store. For the labels, I used chalkboard vinyl that I bought at Hobby Lobby. It was $7.99 a roll before I used the 40% off coupon. I used a fine point paint marker that I had to write on the labels. I think it looks like chalk, but won't rub off when we pick the jars up.

I used my old rotary cutter to cut the chalkboard vinyl into rectangles. 

 Of course, I washed the jars before putting the spices in them. Plus, I let them dry for several days to make sure there was no moisture in them before I put the spices in them. 

I wrote on the labels, put them on the jars, and put the spices in and that was it! It was very simple. I'm not really sure why I have been putting this project off for so long! I am glad to have it done!
