Storage storage.....I'm always looking for new ways to store all of my supplies. This weekend I put another shelving unit in the guest room and it actually worked out better than I thought that it would.
Wire baskets and jars. My favorites are the clear jars with lids that you can purchase at Wal-Mart. They are available in two sizes.
Store all of those little vintage goodies in a jar and then display on a shelf. You have......once again.....created an inexpensive work of art!
Sewing supplies in another.
The larger jars are also cute to create your own special little vignettes.
This weeks Cheap Chic project.....................................
You'll need
- 1 large covered jar
- stick-on cuties from the scrap booking aisle
- inexpensive ribbon from the craft store
- your own special goodies to place inside
Design the outside of your jar and place stick-on's where you want them. Although I probably would have preferred something to spell "HOME" that was a little more frou frou I already had the stamp shaped stickers.
Cut the narrow ribbon into long streamers. Oh, I forgot to mention the little beaded ornament that I clipped on the ribbon. A clip on earring would also be cute.
I went with a spring bird theme which always seems to be a favorite of mine!
I think that this would also be super cute in the bathroom. Use more stick-on rhinestones and maybe spell out "Bath" in French in some glitzy and glamorous letters. Then fill with those little white soaps that I know all of you are starting to collect! There are ton of ideas that you could come up with. How about a baby theme? Fill with cute little gifts and put the babies name on the outside......a perfect gift that will have everyone talking about how clever you are!
This project actually turned out much better than I had originally thought that it might. So much so that it now graces the middle of my harvest table!
Get busy girls! This one should cost a little less than $20.00!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I am noticing all of your cord covers that you use. Do you make these or buy them somewhere? If you make them would you share just how you do it? I love your blog now with all your little goodie ideas.......
