Organizing Pantry & Spice Goods

Lately on Pinterest their has been many photos of people showing off their organized pantries. Many are going back to storing dry good in glass jars and many are cuttting out nice vinyl labels using a cricut or other type of vinyl cutter. Some are even buying these fancy labels off Etsy.

I plan to start putting my dry goods into mason jars (I have a ton of them) because I buy many things now in bulk from our local Amish supply store.

DIY Sunburst Mirror (s)

Sunburst Mirrors are really hot these days.
I have been finding many DIYer's who are making them.
I even made one myself...

My Sunburst Mirror has a 12 diameter beveled edge mirror in the center (10" across) and the whole thing is 33" across.
Here is a list of DIYer's who have made some form of a Sunburst or Starburst Mirror. (most of these DIYer's have included instructions on how to make one)

I can't believe how many different ones are out there and that I had this many bookmarked. (If you come across one I don't have listed then please post a comment with the link)

TIPS...

Unframed Round Mirrors with a beveled edge can be found at Hobby Lobby (in store and online) In the store they are near the candle decor stuff.

Also check Walmart or Target in store and online for round mirror (s) or circle mirror (s). They sometimes carry framed round or circle mirrors.

Paint Stirrers or Paint Sticks are typically known as Paint Paddles in the industry here in the USA. So if your searching for a source also search for Paint Paddles. eBay is one place to look as I have found suppliers who regularly sell new and unmarked one in lots of 100.
