Step-by-step instructions

Prep

Find some small wooden crates to use as your spice shelves. If your crates are a little large, don’t worry - you can create a jar rack instead!

A woman cuts a wooden plank using the BLACK+DECKER® 18V 140mm Cordless Circular Saw.

Step 1

Cut the wooden plank to the same size as the long side of the crates. This will act as the supporting base for your spice rack.

Step 2

Sand down the crates and base to remove any existing stains or paint and create a smooth finish.

Step 4

Varnish, stain or paint the spice rack in your preferred finish. We chose to highlight the grain of the wood with a natural stain, but you could use paint to match your kitchen cabinets or walls.
