DIY Paint can Storage


 
With 4 little ones in the house, toys seem to disappear rather quickly.  I'm always looking for inexpensive ways to organize and store them, and here's a great way!   

SUPPLIES:                                               - 1 gallon paint can
- hot glue gun or modge-podge
- scrap fabric or scrapbook paper
-----------------------------------------------

First, wash & dry the paint can.
  I dug through my craft paper stash, and pulled out scraps and some leftover ribbon too. 
Once the can was completely dry I started to arrange & modge-podge the paper,
covering the bucket and gluing it into place.

Fin
After covering the can, and adding some ribbon,
 I added a label... "TRAINS."

For not spending a cent on this project, I'm happy with the outcome!
[Alex also thinks it's fun too!]


Happy Organizing!
