How To Make a Hexagon Jar Spice Rack
Materials:
Jars
I wish I could say I came up with idea for a hexagonal jar spice rack but not so. I stumbled on the Gneiss Spice Rack while browsing Amazon, looking for a way to corral my numerous spices. (https://a.co/d/d4K4NVu ). The set included beautiful jars, each with a magnet in the lid and a set of labels for all of the spices you might have. I purchased a set of 24 small jars and hung them on a metal plate I glued to my backsplash. After filling all of the jars. I still had quite a stack of spices. I counted and computed what it would take to store all of my spices and the total was beyond my means. I needed an alternative.
I found hexagonal jars at a jar manufacturer – They were $1.19 each plus shipping (about 60 cents a bottle) – a great deal compared with my initial purchase. Now, three years later, you can get the jars for even less through Amazon.

The Metal Plates
I purchased the Metal Plates from Amazon. In my old kitchen I glued the plates to the backsplash as they came (a rectangle).
Putting hexagonal jars on a rectangular back plate looked good but I wanted more for the new kitchen. Starr used a metal snip to cut the plates into hexagon shapes.
Labels
You can purchase clear labels from Onlinelabels.com. If you’re label printing savvy you can print them on your printer. Or, you can write on the labels with a fine tip Sharpie. Another easy way to label your spices is to use clear tape (Scotch or whatever brand you have) and write on that.
Glue
You can put your spices on your refrigerator or you can use metal sheets. I glued the metal sheets to my backsplash, using Gorilla Glue. I taped the sheets to the wall with painter’s tape then pushed the. plate tight against the wall Left it for 24 hours. Now the metal plates are permanently attached.
Magnets
I bought my magnets straight from China but this time I wouldn’t, I would go straight to Amazon https://a.co/d/bFeEsUF
There’s no assembly. Place a magnet in the middle of the inside of the lid of your jar.
This spice rack is a super easy way to add a functional, spectacular wow factor to your kitchen.
