Spice Jars For Embellishments

A few years ago I bought a couple dozen Rajtan spice jars from Ikea to use to store scrapbooking/stamping embellishments.  I loved how cute the buttons, brads, bows, etc. looked in them.  Then I under-took a major  home-office reorganization and converted most of my stuff to The Scraprack storage system.  I am just about done with the challenge of getting it organized.  This left me with lots of jars and other containers that I no longer need in my craftroom/office.  This led me to do some Google searches for ways to use my jars. Guess what?  I decided to use them for their original purpose!  Spices!  It is because of this picture that I chose to re-purpose my re-purposed jars.

Now my jars are in the kitchen.  However, I thought that maybe someone might be looking for embellishment storage ideas.... so I am sharing my wall o'spice because it could just as easily be a wall o'scrappin goodies.

And the glass jars that the Penzey's spices came in?

Martha Stewart Glitter in Spice Jars

They went into my crafting area!  They are a good size to put glitter in.  I find it very difficult to put leftover glitter back in the little vial in which the glitter comes packaged.  Someone may be wondering why I didn't just skip the spice idea and go straight to glitter in the Rajtan jars?  That would have been too easy.  This circuitous route was more fun. And I love the new spice 'rack' in the kitchen.

Does anyone else re-organize periodically? Or is it just me?

Thank you for stopping by today!
