15. Repurposed Spice Rack
This really isn’t a spice organization tip but more of a re-purpose hack. If you have a spice rack that was gifted to you or that you bought that was pre-filled with spices that you never use, don’t throw it out or let it gather dust. You can re-use that lovely carousel in your kitchen, craft room or bathroom. Just dump the spices and fill with other small items. Re-label them using a label maker!
