Good morning, savvy savers! As we are currently in Earth Month, and soon approaching Earth Day, for this weeks Organizational Ideas, I wanted to share with you one of the upcycled ideas I implement to save myself time, money, and effort in my home kitchen, my Starbucks Frappuccino Spice Bottles!
I have always loved the shape and size of these bottles, and while looking at a case of these beautifies my husband brought home last fall from Sam’s Club, I began to think of how much these bottles resembled the spice bottles I saw in Europe. Sure, the original design was marketed to be reminiscent of the old-timey milk jugs of the last century, but to me they called for a higher purpose! I simply boiled the bottles for one minutes in hot water, removed the labels with olive oil, air dried, and then filled with spices.
As you can see, I store a myriad of spices in my jars, from my cinnamon sticks, to my curry powder, and homemade taco seasoning. I have them lined up five across, and three deep, and without taking up much cabinet space, am able to accommodate all of my spice cooking needs!
This is one of my favorite upcycling projects in my home, and I hope you like it as well!
Here’s to being organized!

Hi Misty. Just wanted to lyk that you’ll be one of the feature picks on tomorrows Merry Monday Link Party. It starts at 9pm PST on Sunday.
Thank you so much! Also, congratulations for being featured on the Natasha in Oz site today!
You’re right. Those bottles do have a lovely shape and look great filled with spices. Love recycling ideas. Thanks for sharing this on Merry Monday. Pinned/Tweeted/FB..
I’m going to have start saving ours. I love this idea – I will be borrowing it.
Love this idea! I save these bottles to and serve my kids chocolate milk in them. I’m going to try this idea too!
I’m glad you liked them! Honestly, I think the bottle make better spice jars then drink jugs! Thanks for stopping by!
Those look great! I think my step-daughter drinks those (I hate Cold Coffee). I wonder if I can get her to save some for me?
I hope so!
I am a pack rat and save many of my bottles. Love this idea!
What a great idea… I wonder if the bottles would fit on my spice rack.. Heading to the basement to find them (as I have many) to check.. I just might have to “steal” your idea.. Thanks for sharing. Coming over from the weekend social.
They fit the rack I just bought, so I could add new bottles! Each time I venture to Target or the Fresh Market, I tend to prowl the spice isle, so I keep bottles on hand! Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Mother’s Day!
