Spice Rack
and Spice Bottles
Old style assembly for spice bottles & food cans
1.
Using a quick-dry craft glue, wrap spice bottle
labels onto tubing. Allow to dry thoroughly before
moving to step 2.
1a. Here are how the
cans looks when applied to the base tubing.
2.
Use a sharp cutting tool and cut apart the spice
bottle shafts. Make sure to butt the blade up to the
label for a quick clean cut. I find that scissors can be used
with a little more ease.
2a. Here I show that the
scissor blades are up close to the can label.
3.
Use an artist's brush to coat bottoms of shafts
with glue. Affix printed circle to bottom of each
spice bottle shaft. Next coat glue to top of shaft
and affix brass lids.
4.
Fold rack backing in two. Glue blank sides
together.
If
you are unsure of yourself and want a practice piece
first, merely trace the unit on plain paper before
cutting pieces. Make a practice unit with the
plain trace.
5.
Take shelves and fold at fold lines as shown in
photo. Glue tabs to inner surface of shelve. Use a
pair of tweezers to get a clean contact. There are
four for each shelf.
6. Slather glue to little
fold-down panels found at the top edge of each
shelf. Fold-down and press with tweezers.
7. Place glue to back side
of one of the shelves. Press carefully against red
rectangular guide on rack backing. Repeat for other
shelf.
8. Your finished rack should
look like this photo.
9. To place spices in the
lower shelf, bow unit backward as shown in photo.
