Reader Organization Tip: How To Store Cookie Cutters
The Fall 2009 Kitchen Cure

Are you busy deep-cleaning and fixing up your kitchen this week? What small project have you tackled? Here's one very small project that nevertheless can really make a difference in a small cupboard or drawer: organizing your cookie cutters. Cure-taker Carol shows us how she did it!

Carol says:

I wanted to share my solution for cookie cutters. I hated digging through a big box looking for the one I needed, so I layered them in a small tote with a label indicating which cutter is on each layer and of course I outlined the cutters so I know where to put them back. I need to upgrade my dividers to a thin cardboard from construction paper, but it's worked great.

Wow - that looks great, Carol. Ours are in boxes like that, but we have no idea what's in each box!

Have you brought sanity and organization to something like that in your kitchen during this Cure?

I had a different idea for mine. (I'm still working on it.)

I don't like to hang art in the kitchen - too much risk of it getting splattered with oil or grease or water or whatever. So my kitchen walls are bare.

I have a bulletin board, on which I've traced all of my cookie cutters. I'm painting little designs - a happy sun for the circle, bright red heart for the heart, a daisy for the funny flower-shaped type thing. Then I'm going to put pushpins in each shape and just hang the cookie cutter over its designated design.

Hopefully it doesn't look stupid.

i love christinalouise's idea, and in my opinioon it's better if you don't have the space to store more boxed things. Mine are strung on sting and hung on my wire kitchen racks.

love this idea - my cookie cutters have a bad habit of finding their way in every nook and and cranny of the kitchen.

Christinalouise - I bet you will make more cookies with your cutters so accessible! It's a great idea to use kitchen tools as art.
