More Storage Ideas: Fabric Covered Flower Pots

I ran across some of these and really think they are so cute.. and appear to be very easy to make.  If you have some Mod Podge, fabric and flower pots, that is basically what you need.  I can picture these with pens, pencils, markers, etc..  Another idea for craft storage!  Can you picture these in your craft room?  I sure can, if I had one that is..   Have a look:

These are very easy to make and it tells how they were made on each of the links.  There is also another tutorial at Christine Chitnis.

Using Tin Cans for Storing Craft Supplies

I figured since I did a post on using jars as storage, I should do one about using tin cans, too.   I love the idea of using tin cans because they are readily available (or at least after dinner) and you can paint them and decorate them any way you want. Plus you are helping out the environment by "upcycling" something that would have otherwise been recycled which is okay but many of them just end up in the garbage.   

So, look at these great ideas!

I love the look of these tin cans that were covered with wall paper!

This is a really nifty idea! The cans have magnets glued on the back...  this one is very simple but of course you could decorate your own as fancy as you want.

I like these cute cans! This site has lots of amazing storage ideas.

jute covered cans @ Brown Paper Packages

How adorable are these? I love the labels.... too cute!!  These are actually made using powdered baby formula cans. Formula cans are made from card board rather than tin but they are so cute I couldn't resist sharing them!  These are bit easier to cover because they don't have the ridges on them like most tin cans do.  

Start saving your cans and remember they come in different sizes, too.  Tuna cans can be used to store small things like buttons and spaghetti sauce cans can store longer things like rulers and such.  Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to comment.  I love comments!

Craft Organization Ideas Using Jars

I am crazy about using jars...You can do so many neat things with them in all areas of your home.. for decor and storage.   Here are some super cute craft storage ideas I've rounded up:

Jars for storing different colors of ribbon. So cute!

 ribbon jars @ Color Chic

under shelf storage using jars @ Artfire

This is a neat and different approach to storing craft embellishments and supplies in glass jars.

plastic storage containers @ Tonya Staab

I love all of these.. especially the ones that have color coordinated embellishments in them.  The plastic ones above might have had pretzels or something in them at one time or I imagine you could just use purchase them.  I think glass is great but even plastic jar containers like peanut butter containers and things like that would work great, too.  I have a whole bunch of those plastic Nutella containers just waiting to be used for storing pretty bright colored things!  I will be sure to post a picture when I get them done :0)
