Cheap DIY Organizing Boxes

I am a HUGE fan of boxes and baskets

for organizing; however,

I am not a huge fan of the prices.

Some baskets are $20!

I started brainstorming for other ways to 

get cute box/basket holders.

This way is super easy and fast!

Last year after the holidays,

there were tons of Christmas tins 90% off at Big Lots.

This meant I could get them for about $.20 each!

I bought a bunch, brought them home

and made these to put shoe covers in

by our front entry way.

Here's what I did:

• Paint one coat of acrylic paint on each tin. (It doesn't matter if you can still see some of the tin through the paint; this step just helps the spray paint in the next step stick more evenly and not drip.)
• Spray paint on top of the acrylic paint coat. (I used the glossy spray paint noted in my Free DIY Family Tree Post.)
• Finish with a thin layer of Gloss Finish Modge Podge. (If you use the glossy spray paint, you don't have to do this step; I just liked the look better with the Modge Podge finish.)

Next week I'll share how I made the liner!

Again, it's super cheap and easy - my kind of craft!

Thanks for stopping by

and for all your wonderful comments and questions!

I really appreciate it!
