5. A Sliding Spice Rack for a Very slim space without any wheels
Tired of rummaging through cluttered cabinets for your spices? Discover how to build your sliding spice rack and transform your kitchen organization. Say goodbye to frustration and wasted time with this simple project.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Plan your spice rack: Measure the available space and gather scrap wood for the project.
- Build the shelves: Construct sturdy boxes using ¾” thick boards and add a hardboard composite backing. Create compartments based on the average size of your spice jars for organized storage.
- Prevent spills: Attach wood trim as fences to keep your spices in place.
- Mounting the shelves: Due to limited width, mount the drawer slides above and below the shelves. Attach a piece of 2×4 to serve as a mount for the slides. Screw on a handle for easy access.
- Installation: Attach the drawer slides to the wall, ensuring they are level and securely fastened to studs.
- Finishing touches: Paint the front-facing plywood to match your kitchen decor.
