Hat Boxes and More

Good afternoon my friends.

How is your day going?

Mine has been busy as my last week.

Love the 4th of July

but

am definitely glad it's over.

We spent the day at the ocean....

As you can see it was quite windy

and the waves were rolling in

but,

the kids had a blast

and

the fireworks were awesome.

There simply is nothing

like watching fireworks over the ocean waves.

Since it has been so hectic around here

I

thought I would share

a little more

office storage I have done.

Hat boxes....

There are all kinds of things out there

that can be used to

prettify and make into beautiful

office/craft room storage.

I picked these up at thrift stores for

$1.00 each.

Then I decorated them with

bits and pieces found in my craft room.

First, I painted them with

DIY white chalk paint

(my go to paint for everything).

Then

I used brown craft paper, raffia, burlap

lace, flowers and buttons

to embellish them.

You can use whatever you have on hand....

ribbon, rope, markers, stickers...

anything will work...

They are so simple to do and

so pretty when you are done.

And...

the storage is unreal....

These hold my home decor trims

and

all my sewing trims

and

bits and pieces of lace.

That's a lot of stuff in there....

I love the way they look in my new craft room

so vintage....

Now I am going to leave you with

this

My next project....

Gonna keep you guessing on this one....

Have a great day

get out there and create something....
