Don't we all love need some storage!
I know I do.
I am working on a desk area just for me and my little business.
I need a place to put my stuff, crafting tools, packing material and such.
So I pulled out few cans-containers from my stash (I just can't get myself to throw those out),
got some textured wallpaper (that I had for years),
got some dropcloth scraps and my faithful hot glue gun.

This table is getting too crowded for the three arts&crafts lovers!
So here is the finished product.
I will have to start working on an old desk that was my husband's father, and on some wall art.
...for now, I have the storage for the desk ready to go!
Oh happy day, when I will learn not to do things backwards.

I love how that project turned out. That's a good way to recycle something you're not using anymore. Love the dropcloth material used and of course the numbers you added. I'm still enjoying the coasters you made for me too. They're alot prettier than the the other ones I have!
Love them! I definitely need those to help me stay organized. it's my number 1 resolution for 2013!

You are going to have an organized and pretty workspace! But those artsy-crafty lovers always manage to be right there wherever you go! I love that pic! :)
What a patient soul to share your crafting space. Not easy, yet look at what you manage to do under tight working conditions. This is such a great idea. I am glad you posted it. I have several tins from cookies I received that I'll never use as is because I don't like the patterns and colors. I was thinking of painting them, but covering them like this would be another great idea!

Thanks for the inspiration, I've got to get organized, too.
Wishing you a happy and blessed new year!

Darn! I just threw out about 10 cans a friend gave me. They were from some brand of coffee and were sturdy metal cans. I didn't have the space and wasn't sure what I would do with them.
Now you show me a great idea, but I don't have them.
Next time I see her, I will ask if she is still drinking that brand of coffee.
These look wonderful...cheap, easy but very effective!
Happy New Year!
Saw you sharing at Debbiedoo's.

I am in desperate need of extra storage in my craft room. Guess I better start saving some cans. New follower visiting from Debbiedoo's.
