More Crafty Ideas For You

We love the idea of upcycling and giving a new life to everyday items, so if you enjoy crafting recycled DIY storage containers, we have some great project ideas for you!

For those who have a knack for sewing, we recommend making fabric-covered storage containers. Simply take an old cardboard box or plastic container and cover it with your favorite fabric using Mod Podge or fabric glue. Not only will this project give you a stylish way to store your items, but it's also a fun way to showcase your personal style.

If you're more into woodworking, consider making wooden storage crates from old pallets or scrap wood. These crates are not only practical for organizing your space, but they also add a rustic and charming touch to any room. You can customize them with paint, stencils, or even decoupage for a unique look.

For those who prefer a quick and easy project, try making tin can organizers. Simply clean out tin cans from your pantry, paint them in your favorite colors, and add decorative accents like washi tape or twine. These organizers are perfect for holding pens, utensils, or even small plants, and they're a great way to add a pop of color to your workspace or kitchen.

I have made several,of these but using two different techniques. I wrapped containers for raisins, oatmeal, bread crumbs, that have kids, in pretty wallpaper or fabric scraps, that in glued on with white glue, then input either fabric or ribbon trim on the edges being careful not to make it too thick so,the lid still,fit on securely. I used them as a way to give out cookies at holiday time, and I put a bow on top. So after the cookies were gone, they could use the containers, which I saved throughout the year!

If you used a lot of those chips, you could organize a lot of things.
