Thrifty Finds Help Organize

I found these little wood “seed” boxes at Goodwill my last trip there {about a month ago}; $1.99 for the set.  Unfortunately, the wood is not the type to hold up outside, otherwise I’d use them to decorate somehow on my patio.

They do make cute little holders though, so I decided to fix them up for my craft area {where I seem to have more little things than big things} and where I’m trying to get things together for the Where Bloggers Create linky party at My Desert Cottage on June 19th. 

I spray painted them white, then spray painted them Heirloom White.  I had small amounts of both paints and wanted to get as much coverage as possible out of what I had.

So far, one craze I haven’t gotten in on is numbers; I’m more of an alphabet girl myself.  But I could just see numbers on these boxes.  I picked out scrapbook paper to use over the area that had said “Seeds”.

Then found some numbers in my supplies.

And, my world is pretty once again.  Here they are pulling organizing duty in my craft area and doing a fine job of it, too, I might add!

Three wood containers for $1.99, plus supplies I already had.
