Insta-Style: Spice Tins

ByDiane Henkler 03/21/201501/20/2017 Updated:01/20/2017

I have another installment of Insta-Style for you today featuring spice tins.

What’s Insta-Style? A weekend series of simple projects for which no tutorial is needed.

You may not own the same items I show in the series of posts, but I am hoping that the ideas will inspire you to look at everything around you with new eyes and ask yourself…”what if?” to come up with your own Insta-Style decorating ideas.

What do you get when you put a spice tin and magnets together?

A refrigerator door spice tin catch-all.

Place a few powerful magnets on the back of an empty tin with glue. Let dry and hang.

  Thanks Vicki –
  
  I bought the tin a few weeks ago. It was in the spice aisle at the supermarket. The brand (Pride of Szeged) sells the rub as well as a white tin that has paprika in it.

What an adorable way to reuse something we all might have around the house! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!

Hi Diane,
do you know that “Szeged” is a Hungarian city famous for the spice “piros paprika” – red pepper. Being a Hungarian I am so glad to see this tin in your blog.

I love this. I used to tie a pencil on a string to keep it handy at the fridge…. but hated it. Now this is perfect.

Cute, colorful and convenient. Looks so much better than the boring black holder I bought and now have hanging on the refrigerator. I hope to have a clever spice tin like yours on my refrigerator by next week. Thanks you for the idea!

Wonderful idea … did you use the rare earth magnets? … I would love to know where to find them if you did. Thanks from Judy C

  Hi Judy – I used old magnets that I had in my junk drawer. I didn’t even know they sold rare earth magnets. I thought they were only used for electronics. I will have to look for them.
