When I saw my girls sitting on the floor working on their homework because of all the clutter on their desk tops, I decided to go in search of a solution…so I popped to a store and picked up a couple of Sterilite 5-drawer units to put underneath their desks and they can put in all their trinkets and work-in-progress works of art and general ‘stuff’ to free up space to work on their desk tops…and those units were such a bargain at just $10 each…
So I brought the units home but they struck me as being very dull and I realised all the clutter would be seen through the draw fronts…hmmm…I got to thinking about how to pretty them up…my solution…I got out my gorgeous Sweet Pea Designer Series Papers and got to work…the girls were absolutely delighted to find them when they got home from school…
I simply trimmed the sheets of paper to fit inside each drawer front and adhered them in place using Mini Glue Dots to provide a secure but invisible way to fix them in there. On the drawers where I used a plain pattered paper I attached some felt embellies from Sweet Pea Stitched Felt – I adhered them using Sticky Strip which works really well at holding them in place…they turned out so cute that I am going to get some more to decorate for storage in my crafting space…
They provide a very affordable and cute storage solution and it was such a fun, quick and easy way to pretty them up…you can find a larger view of the photo above and close-up photos of each unit that you can see in my Gallery by clicking here – you will find them in the Occasions Mini gallery.
You can find the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack and co-ordinating Sweet Pea Stitched Felt embellishments in the Occasions Mini Catalog on pgs 32 & 33 – view the online catalog by clicking here – and there is also a brand new instant Digital Download for My Digital Studio for these items which you can find out about by clicking here
The papers are just gorgeous and a real bargain at just $24.95 for a stack of 48 sheets – when y0u purchase those papers now you are already half way to getting your free item from the Sale-a-bration Catalog – for each $50 you spend you get to choose one free item – how great is that?
super cute idea…now my wheels are a turnin’
