A quick post with a quick project tonight.
The skies here look threatening and they're calling for bad storms tonight so I want to keep my eye on the weather.
I found this sad little tray of plastic baby bottles a couple of weeks ago at a garage sale for 50 cents.
Since I am way past the need for baby bottles in my house, I tossed the bottles so I could repurpose the sanitizer tray into a tote for my craft paints.
The tray would have been fine "as is" but I decided to dress it up a bit with some crocheted trim.
I sewed a few random stitches to attach the trim to the tray.
Then I added my paint and brushes.
Each divided section is the perfect size for 3 bottles of craft paint.
And a small jar in the middle stores my paint brushes.
I'm not sure this qualifies as a real "wow" project but I'm linking with

Love it!! I have my paint brushes in an old milk bottle carrier, along with my colored pencils, etc.
ReplyDeleteit is just amazing how your eye can see the use of something other than its original purpose.
ReplyDeleteNow, go take cover and I hope that all of this horrible weather passes you by.
My heart goes out to all my fellow midwesterners!

Well....... Now I reallllly know I'm OLD.... I used a sterilizer and those exact plastic bottles when my daughter was a baby. Holy smokes. If only I had saved all those things from the "old days"....
ReplyDeleteAnother clever idea from the CREATIVE LADY..
