Do-It-Yourself Spice Rack Project

November 1, 2010
Do-It-Yourself Spice Rack Project
With this do-it-yourself project, motorhome owners can consolidate their spice collection using this space-saving rack.

Consolidate your spice collection into one central, space-saving location.

Although most motorhome galleys are completely functional, finding space to store the pots, pans, bowls, utensils, and other cooking necessities you’d like to carry can be problematic. This do-it-yourself project will help you organize your spices into one neat, easily accessible location on the inside of a cabinet door, giving you additional storage space for other items.

Tools and accessories needed for this project:

  • Spice tins (magnetic)
  • Label maker
  • Measuring tape and marker
  • Aviation shears (tin snips)
  • Sheet metal (not aluminum)
  • Narrow-rail picture frame
  • Adhesive-backed, hook-and-loop fastening material tape

Step One:
The first thing you will need to determine is whether you have a cupboard with recessed shelves that will provide the clearance space for the cabinet door to close once the spice rack (with tins attached) is installed. Purchase the spice tins online or find them at kitchen or crafts stores. I used 4-ounce, clear top, 2 ¼-inch-diameter, magnetic-type decanters, but other sizes are available. Most hardware outlets stock the sheet metal needed for this project. (A standard size is a 12-inch-by-16-inch sheet.) Purchase a 10-inch-by-14-inch picture frame at a mass merchandise retailer.

Step Two:
Measure, mark, and cut the sheet metal to the size of your picture frame. Place the sheet metal into the frame facing the front, and clasp the picture glass behind it for added stability.

Step Three:
Stick one side of the hook-and-loop fastening material around the back rail of the picture frame. Then apply the opposite side of the hook-and-loop material directly to the inside of the cupboard door, using the same dimensions as the picture frame.

Step Four:
With the fastening material pieces in place, firmly press the picture frame onto the cupboard door. Fill each decanter with your favorite spices, label them accordingly, and attach the tins to the sheet metal.

  • "We were stranded along a narrow road near Bryce Canyon, Utah. The location was not a good place for cellular service, but I was able to contact Roadside Rescue and arrange for a tow after driving our towed vehicle to the town of Bryce. I had to speak with several people at Roadside Rescue, but each person I spoke with was respectful and courteous. The tow was set up and our rig taken to a place that promptly took care of the repair and we were back on the road in 24 hours."⁠ ⁠ Michael & Lynn Noonan (F448134)⁠ ⁠

  • "Winter! Some love it, some hate it. Winter is a time when there is a stillness in the air but there is also a dryness which can lead to issues with our immune system. Couple that with shorter days, lack of sunlight (which can lead to low energy levels), layers of clothing to keep our skin from absorbing the nutrients of Vitamin D from the sun (crucial for maintaining a strong immune system), and lack of proper hydration due to not feeling thirsty (caused by to cooler temps and less perspiration); ALL of this can lead to our immune systems
  • #throwbackthursday to the sixth FMCA convention, way back in July, 1969. The convention took place at the Traverse City Civic Center in Traverse City, Michigan and featured RV displays, seminars, vendors, and lots of entertainment. ⁠ ⁠ Fast forward 52 years and 96 conventions to today. We are getting ready for FMCA
