Why is it that I get this insane itch to declutter and organize my home around this time of the year? Isn’t that what pregnant women do when they are near their due date? But wait, don’t stop reading, I am NOT pregnant, but I do have the “cleaning itch.”

Plastic storage bins are so useful but definitely not easy on the eyes. After I share this cute solution, you’re going to want to organize all of your drawers and cabinets!
What you will need:
- Scrapbook paper or fabric
- Modge Podge or make your own
- scissors
- Plastic bin
- twine or ribbon
- Cut the paper to fit the side of the bin you want to cover.
- Glue to bin and let it dry.
- Use sturdy crafters glue to secure twine around the top.
Go on now, I know you want to try it!
Hey Mari! What a great idea and I think I actually have that piece of scrapbook paper. How funny is that! I’m loving your site. Love, Paula

CUTE! I’m the same way about getting thing organized and decluttered this time of year. I
I think it’s b/c my house looks pretty bare after I put away all of our Christmas decor.
Pretty paper! I love that pattern!
Lisa, Yes, I have been saving that paper for a special project and now I got to use it!
What a great way to make ordinary bins decorative. Nice work!
Karah, gracias.
This is a great idea. I’m definitely not pregnant but so need to declutter. This a great simple idea to bring a little pretty to those ugly containers. I also checked out your Lemon Blueberry cinnamon rolls, OMG they look amazing. Thanks so much for sharing with Sunday’s Best.
Cathy, lol. Yes, those containers are UUUUUgly.
I love it

My brother suggested I might like this website. He was totally right.
This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
Howdy, I do think your blog could be having web browser
compatibility problems. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in IE,
it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you
a quick heads up! Aside from that, wonderful site!
