If you are searching for a way to make your own unique DIY spice rack then here is a fast and easy way to create one yourself. Using some very simple and inexpensive supplies, you can create this rack for your spices for around $60 dollars total and everything can be purchased online. It is a great way to have easy access to your spices, show off all of your spices in your kitchen and show your creative DIY abilities at the same time. This project will take you approximately 2 hours (from start to finish) including the time to let the Gorilla Glue Epoxy dry and fully set.
Here are the items needed to create your own DIY Magnetic Spice Rack with prices:
1 – Pre-cut piece of Sheet Metal 12 inches x 24 inches = Cost $6.56 dollars (Available online here)
1 – Roll of Black Adhesive Contact Paper = Cost $5.38 dollars (Available online here)
1 – Bottle of Gorilla Glue epoxy = Cost $4.97 dollars (Available online here)

Here is the 12 x 24″ piece of sheet metal that we purchased at Lowe’s Home Improvement store.
This is the piece that we will attach to our wall and our spice bottles will stick to.
Here we carefully rolled the adhesive contact paper onto our sheet metal.
Make sure to do this carefully as you do not want bubbles under the contact paper.
Cut the contact paper corners so that a few inches hang over the side to make it easily overlap the back.
This will save some extra contact paper if you want to make another spice rack.
Here is what the back of the sheet metal should look like when done properly.
Note: The contact paper on the back does not need to cover the entire back as no one will see it.
Here is our sheet metal with the contact paper properly applied.
Notice how smooth and bubble free it is.
You will need to apply carefully using 2 people to get this perfectly smooth.
Once our contact paper was perfect on the sheet metal we attached it to the wall.
We used 4 drops of epoxy glue to attach the spice rack to the wall.
Feel free to use whatever you want as we had nothing to hang it properly at the time.
Here are 2 of our square french bottles with 2 magnets epoxied to each jar.
Depending on the weight of the spices in each bottle, you may need 3 magnets.
Here we are gluing the magnets on each bottle and giving them time to dry.
If you use a 5 minute epoxy it will be a race against time.
We recommend using a normal epoxy glue such as the Gorilla Glue brand.
We then filled and labelled each bottle with the appropriate spice.
We hung them on our sheet metal piece and it looks great.
This DIY Spice Rack makes it easy and fast to grab the spice you need.
We are really happy with the outcome and would recommend this DIY project to everyone!
