Thrifty Organization

I dream of being really organized.  Sometimes I am more successful than others. Which means I am always looking for new storage containers: places to store and organize the many (and I mean many) items that I need in my sewing room.  But I also don't want to spend alot of money. 

A sample of what needs to be stored from my most recent shopping trip.

One of my favorite blogs is Sew Many Ways.   Tool Time Tuesday is always an inspiration,  Karen has amazing ideas for using and reusing found items and hardware store finds. Reading her blog has sharpened my eye for thrifty.

Found:  Large Nut containers, seems a shame to throw them away.  As you can see I tried to peel the label off, I thought I could just put a paper label over.  But, lets be creative here...

Feeling inspired, I grab my Mod Podge, some fabric scraps and a fabric pen and went to work.

Using pinking sheers on some of the scraps for a little variety.  I then made a label from some muslin, and my fabric pens.

Ta Da!!  New storage containers.

Their new home on the shelf!!

Hope you are inspired to re-use and recycle, Thanks Karen for all your inspiration!!!
