# Light Bulb Spice Holders These Old Incandescent Bulbs Make a Great DIY Spice Rack By Allison Love | Published 2010-06-05 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-bulb-spice-holders References: [choicevacuums](http://www.choicevacuums.com/living-green-blog-posts/light-bulbs-transformed-into-gorgeous-spice-containers/) These [recycled light bulb spice holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection) are a great DIY project, and would actually look great as a [spice rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-spice-dispenser) on your wall. The old incandescent light bulbs have been gutted, cleaned out and filled with different spices. The business end of each light bulb has been sanded down and [plugged with a cork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corka). I really like the look of these light bulb spice holders, especially when there are enough of them to create an entire rack. They're a great way to add some *spice* to your kitchen decor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycling:** Upcycling old incandescent light bulbs for creative household uses can bring new life to old products. - **DIY Projects:** There is a growing trend of consumers undertaking DIY projects to transform everyday items into unique household products. - **Home Decor:** Consumers are increasingly interested in unique and visually appealing home decor items that add a personal touch. ### Where This Applies - **Home Goods:** Home goods companies can ride the 'upcycling' trend by creating products that repurpose old household items in creative ways. - **DIY Supplies:** Companies that sell supplies for DIY projects can capitalize on the rising interest in creating unique household items. - **Spice Companies:** Spice companies can create marketing campaigns around DIY spice racks, highlighting the versatility and creative potential of their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Candle-Inspired Lightbulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velaflame.md) - [Vertical Tea-Light Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tolo-tea-candle.md) - [Cork-Base Spinning Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinmemo.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Demure Dual-Function Hanging Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-fixture-planter.md)
