How To Make a Flower Basket from a Spice Rack

July 30, 2015 By Meegan 15 Comments

I am excited to work once again with Lowe’s today. The whole idea behind doing a project like this is to share how YOU make something unexpected from a purchase at Lowe’s, such as How To Make a Flower Basket from a Spice Rack.

How To Make a Flower Basket From A Spice Rack

My Goal today is to show you How To Make a Flower Basket from a Spice Rack. I know! Now you will see why it is one of my fave projects…

I started out by browsing the aisles at Lowe’s. It’s always fun, isn’t it?

Spice Rack

After walking around through the nursery area, I kept thinking about how I wish I had a space for a garden on our balcony or front porch. I looked at a few ideas, and then it hit me. I could make my OWN container for my OWN little garden.

To make my project, I used:

spice rack/organizer

a spool of jute

hot glue gun

hot glue

scissors

fresh potted flowers

Spice Rack wrapped with Jute

I started out by wrapping the jute around the “frame” and rims of the rack.

My next step was to weave the jute in and out of the wired front. Easy, right? It did take awhile. And sometimes I would need to tie and hot glue the jute together, because I didn’t want to unravel.

Wow, what a difference, right? As a hanger, I tied a one last string of jute to each side at the top.
