Storing your spices on the wall is a great way of freeing up precious cabinet space in a small kitchen. You can make your own DIY wall spice rack by using a cookie sheet or pizza pan with magnetic spice containers – the colorful spices will also doubles as artwork!

Step 1: Use an Old Pizza or Cookie Sheet

This is a great project to give new life to an old pizza or cookie sheet. You can spray paint them but I like the look of the metal as is so I skipped this step. There's really nothing else to do, other than hang on the wall! 

Step 2: Making Your Magnetic Spice Containers

Convert store bought spice containers into magnetic containers to put on you pizza sheet by simply gluing magnets (from the dollar store) to the bottom of small round spice containers – I used liquid nails glue.

For square spice containers, you can glue thin magnetic sheeting material on the back like I did here. You can also find this at the dollar store.
