My entire craft room is filled with storage contraptions I have picked up here and there, and prettied up, of course. I think this most recent acquisition and makeover is my favorite of all. At my town’s yearly, gigantic and awesome community sale I spied this mail cube used in offices. I instantly thought, craft storage… sweet! She was only $5! Not the purdiest, but that has never stopped me. Home with me she came…
I scrubbed and scrubbed some more, removing tape name labels galore. Whatever establishment utilized this must have had a high turnover because, much to my dismay, many of the labels had labels under them with a different name and more tape. I used adhesive remover to get the little globs left after the tape and paper were removed. Once I got her all cleaned up, I just spraypainted the front with Krylon Fusion Black, and the sides and top with Krylon Fusion Red. I love this stuff cause it goes on anything and you don’t need primer.
Once she dried, I moved her into her new home and filled her with some of my stash. Matches nicely with the file cabinet I redid, here. No need to buy expensive storage!
