Rolling Pins: Four Ways

3-25-09-rolling-pins-all.jpg

We used to employ the services of a rolling pin so infrequently that, whenever the need arose, we'd simply press an old wine bottle into service. But we've been doing a bit more baking recently and acquired a proper rolling pin. It's a bit awkward to store, so we were driven to suss out a solution. In the process we unearthed this diverse collection of rolling pin decor.

3 Bottom left: a DIY towel rack made from mounting a rolling pin to the wall with plant hangers, found on HGTV

4 Bottom right: a rolling pin pot rack from IronWood Gourmet. The rolling pin is nonfunctional in this case, but kitschy for a baker!

I'd be interested to see more storage methods that don't involve a special holder or converting the pin to something else.

I just bought a rolling pin only to realize that it's too long to fit in any of my cupboards/drawers in any normal way.

I tied a little piece of leather (shoelace) in the hole in one end and then hung it on the side of an out of reach cabinet with a hook. Works perfectly.

We got a rolling pin last Christmas as a gift (neither my husband nor I are big bakers, so gee, thanks...). I managed to find a few inches of space for it by pulling out my utensil drawer and giving away everything we had duplicate or even triplicate of.
