As the family grows, so does our stuff. Papers, pictures, cards everywhere. And it drives me nuts. I NEED the papers hidden, I NEED the ugly things not to be seen. Our third room of three in this house doubles as the guest room and our "office". That means there is little room for a lot of stuff. So no file cabinet to store things in. I like the idea of magazine holders as file holders, but have you seen any cute ones out there? And the ones that you do find, have you seen the prices? Like $10 plus each one. I need four. I am not paying $40 for magazine holders. No sir.
Problem: Lots of stuff, no cute stuff holders.
Solution: Make your own.
Here's the breakdown:
You take a few pretty papers
.69 cents each, unless you get the fancy glitter paper cause it makes you smile $1.99 each.
Each file folder needs two pieces of paper.
A few plain boring magazine holders
$1.99 for a pack of 5 from Ikea. HELLO!
Some handy tools
Already had. EVERY girl needs her own handy tools. Crafty ones and boy ones. Starbucks $5.00.
You then sit down and turn on your favorite show and get to work. Today it was Young and the Restless.
After some glueing, cutting, embellishing and odd looks from your hubbs, you have this:
PRETTY storage for your stuffs. All for around ten bucks (plus the Starbucks). Colors that match my room and custom pretty labels. Notice the first one does not have a complete name, that would be because we do not know what name we are to use. That all changes FRIDAY!!
I hope you all are having a good week!
