Hey guys!! Today I've got a super quick and easy pantry organization project for you! Previously my spices were sitting in little bins, which kept them contained and together in the pantry, but it was super hard to find the one I was looking for (I needed to clean out the old expired spices as well-there were a lot!).
I love the idea of using a lazy susan/spinnner to keep the spices so they are easy to find, but have you priced those things lately?? Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and the Container Store have them for $8 or more! Sorry friends, but I'm not paying that much money for something sitting in my pantry. So I found this little DIY lazy susan hack that only cost $3 each! Boom! I made 4 of these for just over the price of one in the store! I actually like these more than the store bought ones anyway because they have sides, so the spices won't fall over easily. These can be used for just about anything from spices to lotion and other bathroom items, to anything you want easy and organized access to!
All you need is 2 round cake pans and bag of marbles. You can get all of these things for $1 each at the Dollar Tree, making each one only $3! Walmart has 9" cake pans for $.88, however I had a really hard time finding a store that had them in stock (I went to 4 different stores with no luck!), so I used the 8" pans I found at the Dollar Tree and they were a great size for spices. I eventually found some at a Walmart and made 2 more of these for our bathroom cabinets!
Step 1: Put marbles in one of the cake pans.
Step 2: Put the second cake pan on top.
Step 3: Put in your spices.
Step 4: Smile, you are done! :) And spin it around 100 times because, well, its fun!
Here's my BEFORE. :( A MESS!!
And the AFTER!! SOO much better!!
Let me know if you make these or have any other genius organization hacks!!
