Spice Rack Office Supply Organizer
10 comments
I’ve had this spice rack for several years now and haven’t been using it for the majority of that time. I found that I it was more of a pain than a convenience because it took up too much of our precious counter space and I only used a handful of the 20 spices. I’ve almost given it away a handful of times but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I knew that I could find some use for it!
Just a few weeks ago I got to thinking about all the little odds and ends in our office. I was trying to come up with a practical way to store them all so they would be accessible and displayed in an attractive way. I saw the spice rack in the closet and it hit me! I cleaned out all the jars, let them dry, filled them with our office and craft supplies, and voila! Finished!
This little organizational treasure has worked out beautifully. I love how it looks and how easy it is to find things that I was always losing before. Here are some things we keep in the spice rack:
- safety pins
- paper clips
- keychain rings
- staples
- erasers
- mechanical pencil lead
- rubber bands
- thumb tacks/push pins
- buttons
- brads
- scrapbooking embellishments
One of my favorite things about this is the little flip top lids on the spice jars. When I need to get or put something away I just have to open the little flip lid and slide it in there. I don’t even have to take the jar out of the rack. I’m so proud of this idea! It’s functional and visually pleasing.

What a great idea! A great way to use a tool in a new way. And space-saving, too!
I love this idea! I have seen (heard?) of it before and wish I had one that I could use for this purpose. But… right now I don’t have a dedicated craft area and I haven’t even made any cards since the summer because of this reason! Thanks for the tip! I’ll keep my eye out for one at flea markets/thrift stores so I can use it for my embellishments.
Very cool idea! I just may use this in my craft/sewing room at The Stone House.
I wouldn’t have thought of using a spice rack for this, it’s really a great idea if not for the office, for small craft supplies.
