When you use contents of baby food jar clean completely and dry. Paint the lids with two layers of chalkboard paint. Now you can use a top drawer and have your spices more easily available to you. Don’t stop at spices – what about all of your findings, sewing notions etc.? Would be great for your excess office supplies too like paper clips, rubber bands, staples.
Tool Storage – Recycled/Upcycle
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Cleaning, Craft Projects, Gardening, Home, Home, Car, Yard, and Pets, Recycle/Upcycle/Repourposeing on April 13, 2013
What a great way to store your yard tools -and reuse something that might have just been thrown away. This is an old filing cabinet (a heavy duty one) that has been lightly sanded, primed and then painted. A Heavy coat of polyurethane has been added to protect from scratches – even those are inevitable in a garage. On each end a piece of pegboard has been attached to provide room for small tools to be hung. A piece of thick plywood has been attached to the bottom and wheels have been added. This will allow the piece to be moved around to clean and it won’t be sitting on the floor where it can easily rust.
Not Just Your Ordinary Thumbtack
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Craft Projects, Gifts on May 3, 2012
Find the average office box store thumbtacks just a little to ordinary? How about a quick sprucing up with some findings you probably already have and some epoxy glue.
Some ideas include:
-Buttons
-Jewelry Findings
-Small stones or pebbles
-Small antique door knobs
-Other
Just clean the top of thumbtack with alcohol and do the same to the part of the item to be glued to the thumbtack to ensure a clean gluing. Use of epoxy is suggested, however, goop or super glue can be used for some items.
