Bins

I have started work on a bookcase makeover. The only problem is I had no idea what I was going to put in the bookcase. I don't like clutter (AT ALL). So i decided I needed some sort of basket or bin. It is amazing how expensive they can sometimes get, so off to the thrift store I went. I happened upon these awesome bins! They are solid wood, which normally means it has great potential! All you need for this is to lightly sand it, a few coats of primer, and a topcoat. After it dried, I taped off a stripe, that I painted it with basic acrylic paint. After that it still looked plain, so I put my Silhouette to work!

Damage
Small Bin: $2.00
Large BIn: $3.00
Paint : $0.00
Total= $5.00!
