Materials: Spice tins Labels (if you apply chalkboard labels, I write on mine with a white paint pen so it looks like chalk, but doesn't smudge off.) Magnets Gorilla Glue First, clean your spice tins. Next, write out your labels & affix them to the tops of your spice containers.

Is Frugal Homemade Diy Magnetic Worth It?

Remember that cut your magnets to fit your tins & glue them in place with Gorilla Glue. It's key to apply strong enough & large enough magnets, otherwise the spice containers won't stick to your fridge.

Once the glue is dry, you can fill your containers. Put them on your fridge and reclaim some shelf or drawer space.
