Good-looking, counter space-saving spice racks are hard to find. So, why not hang your spices on the wall? My Aim Is True has a great DIY that'll help you both to see and store your spices out in the open. You'll no longer have three half-empty containers of cinnamon hiding in the back of your cabinet, or four different brands and shapes of spice jars sitting uncoordinated in your cabinet.

Supplies:
- Watchmaker's Tin Cases
- Super strong magnets
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Magnetic strips (or here and here)
- White paint pen
- Spices
Here's how:
- Heat up your glue gun.
- Glue the super strong magnets to the back of the tin cases.
- Let dry.
- Collect your spices. Pour them into the tins.
- Jot the name of each spice on either the front (if you have good hand-writing) or back of the tin using the paint pen.
- Install the magnetic strips on your wall. Don't put them too close to the heat source; it may damage the spices.
- Make sure your tins are screwed closed tightly. Then, hang them on the strip! Voilà!
If you're really lazy, you can just buy The Container Store 5-Canister Magnetic Spice Rack ($14.99), but the DIY is more economical. Also, if you have a magnetic fridge, you can ditch the strips all together and just attach the tins to your refrigerator door.

i got one of those things for xmas, but it included the magnetic bar and about 6 containers... the only thing is, if i want to lable them, i would have to write on them with my bad handwritting... or create my own labels which wouldnt be as pretty... or ... yeah... lol i donno. they are sitting empty right now
1But i do think this is a good idea... and i already have one of those knife magnetic strips...
thank you ikea.
