I rarely get to do a bit of thrifting, but lately I have been stalking every single one looking for spice racks. I've seen countless pictures on pinterest where spice racks have been used for craft supplies and since I use spice jars for my seed beads it got me thinking.
Then I stumbled across this little beauty for $2, so excited and I am pretty sure my parents had one of these back in the 80's.
Anyway as much as I love Masterfood's I was after a different look. So I broke out the chalk paint and painted her up.
After I painted I kept thinking it needed a graphic or something, but once I put the beads in I think they give her a little sparkle and I'm glad I didn't add any extra.
DIY Delight or Disaster? Well I think it's a delight and I like having the beads sparkling I'm all about seed beads, cheap but pretty.
Thanks for reading,

Well done with the painting, Mel ! And the beads look perfect in their new organized home :-)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I love the colors of the beads in the jars. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a colorful delight! Love that you painted that spice rack and found a good use for it. Go Mel!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea. I love my beads, so having them up on the wall, on display is perfect! I want to do this now!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! As you know, I don't do jewelry (yet), but I do use spice jars for buttons. I have one of those revolving spice racks on a shelf in my disaster of a craft room/office space.
ReplyDeleteThat is so much prettier than my bead storage. Great idea Mel.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a delight! Nice job Mel!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome Mel! Great repurpose!
ReplyDeleteI am now on the hunt for a spice rack for my own to store craft supplies in! Nicely done Mel!
ReplyDeleteI love how the beads add pops of color! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh that is brilliant. It looks great and is so practical. People will never use spice racks for spices again!
ReplyDeleteMel, what an awesome idea!!! Love - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great idea Mel !!!
ReplyDeleteAnd so pretty :)
Perfect use for an old spice rack. I love it, super handy for bead storage and it doubles as something pretty to hang on your wall.
ReplyDeleteYour collection of beads is so colorful. They really pop against the white like eye candy for a crafty bead-er.
ReplyDeleteYou started with G'day!!! That made my day!!! Oh, you have a nice rack, too. :P

That's how it starts with the chalk paint addiction. You do one thing and love it, that leads to another, and another, and another... I'm just giving you fair warning here. :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great. I like the colorful beads in there too (they're 'purty').
What a great idea Mel!! It looks fabulous and now organized. Thanks for the inspiration. Pinned :)
