Use What You Have (aka RePurpose)

I LOVE to use what I have or "repurpose" items around the house. If you give yourself a minute to look around you never know what you might come up with. Here I came up with a way to hold ribbon. A slight modification to the Martha Stewart boxes with gromet holes, I used a clear Container Store container. The lid holds the ribbon in place and keeps it from spooling to fast while still allowing you to pull and CUT!




Another fun repurpose that I did in this same space was to take a clear shoe bag and use it to store art supplies like pens, pencils, paints, paint brushes etc. Hang it over the door next to the art table and Voila!! instant organization right at your finger tips!
