My family and I are regular shoppers at Sam's Club (no I don't work for them :) ). So a few weeks ago, my son and I are in the food section shopping and as I turn a corner to go down the next aisle, the house goods department is right there next to us and I look over and catch a glimpse of this rotating spice rack. Memories of Pinterest and pinning links to my Craft Room/Zone board came back to mind and I remembered what a good idea I'd seen about using spice bottles for glitter shakers and for storing beads. I meander over to 'just look" at it and noticed what a neat spice rack it is and it includes not only the spices in each bottle, but there's also a five-year free refill that comes with it and the whole thing is less than $20. You can't buy just the spices in the box alone for that price, let alone the spice rack too and definitely 5-years worth of spices! With the holidays (and my
obsession with love of holiday baking coming up), I feel justified in buying it and I feel I got quite a score in the deal :)
So I buy the spice rack and bring it home. I empty the contents of the containers into medication bottles and label it with duct tape (the first thing I could find), put the spices in my pantry and take the spice rack promptly to my craft room and fill the bottles up with glitter :)
It's PERFECT for glitter, beads, etc. I plan to use the bottom row for beads after I empty the smaller amount of glitter I filled those bottles with. It rotates and there's a choice of pour or sprinkle openings in the cap and also a removable cap with holes in it under the top cap. What a deal I got and what a thrifty gal I feel like today! :)
That is a great find! I need to head out to Sam's Club and see if it's there, it's perfect for glitter storing.
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOO perfect, as an art teacher I may have to borrow this idea!

I hope you're able to find it! I'm actually thinking of getting another one :) I didn't think I'd fill all the bottles with just glitter, but I did exactly that today. I need another ones for other things :) I want to use it for my crafts, but also as art therapy with my autistic son. Have a great day, Lindsey!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. That is a nice way to keep all of that glitter corralled. I also have an autistic son, he is very high functioning and has been helping paint alot of my projects.
