[DIY] extra storage


Don't know where to keep your spaghetti? Sick of ugly cardboard boxes taking up space in the kitchen? Here is a tip on how to get some good looking extra storage with minimum effort! 

Take a cylinder from a wine, or in this case a Champagne bottle. Spray paint it in the color of your choice. I find that you get the best result if you can get your hands on a cylinder with some kind of pattern or writing in the metal itself - it gives a bit of extra detail and a hint of where the item comes from.

I made this one last weekend in matte white and I will use it to store the espresso coffee buttons that we use in melody. Easy, cheap, stylish and friendly towards the environment!

  6. That's such a great idea! It would be perfect for storing my tea bags, I always just leave them in the box they come in.

  13. kicking myself for throwing a good few such tins out recently (after deciding they just didn't cut the mustard as extra storage as they weren't pretty enough)
    foolish...

  16. What a great idea!! I love it and want to do it once we move. Hopefully they sell spray paint in Kentucky - you have to drive to the suburbs of Chicago to purchase it, can you believe that?!
