Here is the original prodigious idea posted by a brilliant blogger: http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2011/08/organizing-measuring-cups-and-spoons.html
I got the little cup hooks and everything but just never got around to it. Then one day it dawned on me: command hooks! I love these little beauties:
Purchased using my amazon prime account, of course. $7.80 at the time of purchase for 9 hook which was all I needed. Probably cheaper at Walmart but I just didn't want to haul myself down there. Plus, they might not have the right type--you know how it goes.
I started by using my handy-dandy label maker (LabelPOINT 100). I don't think this guy is available anymore but they have a bunch on the market for relatively low prices. (It's the refills that get you, as usual.) I labeled all the sizes and the type (tsp, tbls) using a small font. I had to cut these out very small so they would fit on the hook but it worked! They really are legible but hard to tell in the picture.
I'm an experimental type of crafter so I just throw myself into a project and hope it works. I'm excited to see my finished project at this time so I'm working quickly. I make a light pencil line so my hooks will at least be straight. I don't measure anything and just start sticking my hooks on the inside of my cabinet. Well, I had to re-position them a couple of times so they would fit correctly. It's a good thing I had extra command strips because the 3 bonus that came in the box were not enough for my mistakes. I had the most trouble with the cups because by cabinet is relatively small and I am short so I didn't want them to be too high. That would defeat the purpose of easy-reach.
Here is the finished product (ignore the pencil marks--I have since cleaned them off). Pretty spiffy, don't ya think?
