When life gets stressful I find crafts incredibly soothing so I thought i would share a recent project I did for my kitchen.
Increasingly we want our
kitchens to be not only functional but pleasing to the eye as well. To this end
clever and creative storage ideas are becoming more and more popular.

| An ornate picture frame to hold my herbs and spices-why not? |
This picture frame spice
rack is incredibly simply to make and will ensure your herbs and spices are
very much the star of your culinary show. Your jars of spices will appear to be
floating within a picture frame but are actually quite securely attached with
magnets.
You will need
An old picture
frame-remove the glass and dispose at
your local recycling plant but keep the back
Ultra strong small
magnets-Available online on packs of 12-here we have used two magnets per jar (obviously
the bigger and stronger the magnets, the more secure the jars will attach to
the board)
Small glass storage jars
with metal lids-these need to be all the same size. Craft stores and ebay all
stock these
Blackboard paint and a
brush
Chalk
Glue gun
Pencil and tape measure
Step One
Take the back of your
picture frame and with the tape measure mark out a grid of where you would like
the jars to go. You need to remember that you will have to write the names of
the spices above the jars, so you are not creating a symmetrical grid. It’s
probably a good idea to place the jars on the board first, see where you’d like
them, make sure you can write above them, and then mark the grid out, for a
more accurate result.
Step Two
Hot glue your magnets to
the board. Don’t forget that these will
sit in the centre of the lids-We used two small magnets per spice jar to ensure
they is a really strong magnetic grip.
Step Three
Paint your board with
black board paint once this is dry you can attach your jars by the metal lids.
Write in chalk above them what herbs and spices they each contain.
Step Four
Hang your picture frame
spice rack on the wall or lean it against the back of your kitchen counter.
