Sprinkles ~ Re-purposing Spice Rack Bottles
A few years back, while visiting one of my favorite gals, Bakerella, I saw a Spice Rack that she had purchased and stored her Sprinkles in. Well, of course, at the time, it was way above my budget, so I have just been using old plastic jars to store my Sprinkles in.
Since my cupcake decorating has grown so much this past year, and with the generous gifts from Wilton, my Sprinkles collection, was taking over the Baking cupboard.
Most days, my cupboard and counter looked like this…ugh! It drove me crazy.
Fast forward a couple years to a couple weeks ago, when Doug and I were visiting my Father-in-law and choosing some of the household items that weren’t needed anymore, as the house and farm have sold.
When…what do I spy with my little eye? A Spice Rack with Glass Bottles!! YES! Score! My Sprinkles will have a new home!
We packed the Jeep, until we couldn’t fit another single thing in, and headed home. I dumped the old Spices, washed the bottles, and filled to my heart content!
Now all of my Sprinkles are happy in their little homes!
My counter is back to normal and I can actually find which Sprinkles I’m looking for.
And my Baking cupboard…I can actually find what I’m looking for in there too!

I must admit that it never occurred to me to use my sprinkles as art – ’til now! THANKS for the great eye *candy* and inspiration. I think I’ll go copy you right away. I love new ways of using color!
Hi Liz,
Great ideas! And I noticed your roosters too, which prompts me to share our upcoming exhibition with you: http://queengallery.ca/2010/06/el-gallo-chantecler-kamyl-bullaudy-rodriguez I hope you like them.
Cheers,

That’s a good idea. I should totally do this with my spices and baking goodies. All the different sizes bottles (and sometimes shapes) drive me crazy when I am rushing and cooking and trying to find something.
Stop by and visit sometime over at Free 2 Be Frugal.
The sprinkles and decorations look great in those jars….love them on display!
I’m all about reusing so these rock my socks. The bottles were a great find and now can double duty as decoration and confection. Double win!
Oh my gosh! I could not be more OUT of love with the store bought sprinkle bottles. I hate them! I hide them! Now my wheels are churning…I might need a sprinkle display. In a bad way! Awesome!
love this idea that will be the next thing on the list to hunt for at garage sale/flea markets
The sprinkles look really pretty in the new bottles. Adds a lot of color to your cupboard.
This makes me smile!

That is a great idea. And the clear glass jars with no labels really show off the pretty sprinkles. Beeeeuautiful! Thanks for linking up.
@Infarrantly Creative, I’m glad you like it, Thanks! Just wanted to let you know I added your link to my party list. I think you visited before I got it done.
