So on one hand, it’s totally rainbow colored awesomeness to have a collection of sprinkles. On another hand, it can be a challenge to find a place to store all of those sweet little things. You need to have a way to store all those pretty sprinkles.
A few years ago I realized that I used my sprinkles FAR more often than I ever used the fancy glasses and bowls that were taking up space in one of my cupboards, and thus the fancy glasses and bowls went to Goodwill and in their place went my sprinkles. It’s not fancy or cute, but it works for me.
There are however so many fun and creative ways to store sprinkles though, much more interesting than my shoved in a cabinet method. Let’s check out some of the great ways people around the web have been storing their sprinkle collections…
One of my all time favorite ideas from Bean Town Baker.
Of course Bakerella has some great sprinkle storage.
Super pretty sprinkle storage from Everyday Beauty.
A super cute spice rack makeover from Design Eat Repeat.
Looks like that one could be recreated with this spice rack.
Beneath The Roawn Tree – these look like the Rajtan jars from Ikea
The Crumbs & Dollies Spice Cabinet at Cupcakes Take The Cake is a sight to behold!
A cute idea from cindy58 at Cake Central – using bead storage containers.
Looks like it’s similar to this container.
Dusti’s Cupcakes has a cute little spice rack storage.
If only I had a spare wall. LOVE this sprinkle storage from Death By Cupcake.
Cute little jars over at The Extraordinary Art Of Cake.
And while not shown for sprinkles, here are a few
spice rack options that look like they could work well…
How cool would this one be on the end of a cabinet???
A nice little stair step organizer for use in your cabinets.
This cool down rack is pretty cool.

I’m embarrassed to say I am a sprinkle hoarder…or at least I’m on the cusp. I NEED something…thanks for showing all the great ideas. Mine are not easy to get to, so I tend to not use all I have…which is ridiculous! OR, even worse…I buy more of something I already have plenty of because they are not in plain view. BIG SIGH. Doesn’t help that they last forever!. To make it worse, I am using up my bits of extra royal icing…making little dollops/flowers/etc…which then have to be packaged up and stored. Thankfully, my granddaughters thought the red Christmas flowers were delicious and ate an entire container as they were “decorating” Christmas cookies.

I have a dedicated shelf where I store my sprinkles in glass jars. They make me happy to look at them so they are out in plain sight!!
Melissa says
Thanks so much for including my spice rack! It’s one of my favorite Goodwill finds. Just $3 and a little bit of paint & design love! 🙂
Novell says
My sprinkles are stored in a rubber container with a lid, but I’ve far surpassed it so the rest are just stored here and there and everywhere! I need help!

sue @ cakeballs, cookies and more says
I love this, I have a wall with a bunch in ikea jars, but that is just a bit, the rest I have in rubber main bins two huge ones!
Lia says
I love the rajtan jars and the ones from Extra Ordinary Art of Cake. I think I need to go to the Container Store for a little sprinkle holder shopping…
megan @ whatmegansmaking says
These are all so cute!! To be honest, I never thought much about storing my sprinkles. They are in their original containers in an ugly cardboard box. But now I think i need to invest in a spice rack… 🙂
Marion says
What great ideas!!! Would have never thought of this myself…. fun way to get organized.
Tracy says
Love these ideas. I need to find some way to organize my ever growing collection! I should also join “Sprinkles Anonamous”!

I had two custom wall units made when we renovated our kitchen. I was able to find the cutest apothecary style jars at Dollarama and each shelf fits seven across, three deep x 10 shelves = 210 jars. I rotate them seasonally and they’re a job to keep clean but “the wall of sprinkles” is legendary. I don’t have a blog anymore but I have posted it several times on Instagram.
I also visit ABC regularly in Phoenix. We are in Scottsdale.
