It has been a hectic few weeks and my upcycling ways have suffered a bit. My free time has consisted of some travel, household chores, decorating for fall and getting my craft space in order. I have a few projects in the works, but lately I feel like I am coming up mostly empty-handed during my Goodwill lunches. During these lean crafting times, I try to work on the craft room. I am hoping to share it one day, but alas it is far from finished. I am still finding ways to organize supplies, and just hung some shelves: Progress!
A great way to organize paint brushes and general supplies are old coffee cans and glass jars. I like to cover them with fabric using Mod Podge. Glass covered jars not only make great lamps, they also are a decorative way to organize craft room supplies. Simply measure the fabric, cut, and apply the Mod Podge and fabric to the outside of the coffee can.
Similar method can be used to apply fabric to glass jars, such as pickle jars, and spaghetti jars. The possibilities and uses for these items are endless, and it is a great way to repurpose and recycle throw away items. What’s better than craft room storage for free?
