Baby Food Spice Jars

Ever rummage through your spice cabinet trying to find the right spice for your recipe? It’s a constant struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. If you have old baby food jars then they can be repurposed as magnetic spice jars. Once they are magnets you can place them on the side of your fridge for easy access. It’s an easy project, although a little time-consuming. But it can be done over a long period of time if need be. Check out the tutorial!

Cupcake Tin Organizer

If you’ve accumulated more than enough cupcake tins then consider using one to organize your junk drawer or pantry. Separate your paper clips, tacks, keys, and post-its right inside your junk drawer. Or use the cupcake tin to organize your small baking items, such as cupcake liners, sprinkles, food coloring, and toothpicks. When it comes time to make some cupcakes, all you have to do is pull the whole cupcake tin out of the pantry.

Paper Towel Holder Recipe Book

Recipes can be some of the hardest things to organize because we keep adding more. But with a little bit of work, your recipes can be on hand for you to use instantly. First start by putting your recipes in clear plastic paper holders that have holes for binder rings. Then add binder rings to your paper towel holder and simply attach each recipe page to the binder rings. They will stand upright and you can make categories with tabs at the top of the paper. It looks nice enough to stay out on the counter and you’ll never have trouble finding a recipe again.
