DIY Kitchen: 5 Steps to Create a Seasonal Baking Station

1. Clean Out & Organize
Clean out and organize your baking station in a cupboard that’s easy to keep tidy. Throw out kitchen items you haven’t used in a year. Don’t overstuff the area; keep it user-friendly.

2. Add Colorful Accessories
For fun, add color with budget-friendly accessories, like paper straws in a variety of patterns for interest. Other color-popping add-ins can include cupcake liners, doilies and baker’s twine, all available at local craft stores. Display in measuring cups, bowls or ramekins.

3. Use a Variety of Glass Containers & Jars
Use glass jars to keep colorful contents visible, appealing and accessible. From flour and sugar in larger jars to sprinkles and jimmies in smaller containers … seeing everything makes an eye-popping difference.

4. Keep It Easy to Change
Use this space every season by changing out accessories, candies and sprinkles. For spring, use pastel items—for summer, patriotic colors are perfection! This can be your easiest space to redecorate for holidays.

5. Make It Functional
Functional items like cookie cutters and cake stands can double as decor. Group cookie cutters in a clear jar and display baked yummies on your prettiest stands for an extra special touch.
