Decorative Paper Organizer

I love home improvement and anytime a come across anything that deals with improving my home I print it out and save it for later.  The problem is that they are starting to pile up.  So to tackle my growing pile of idea clutter, I have the perfect solution, use the file crate sitting in the garage holding my leftover newspaper; which I was going to use in the garden.  Being thrifty, of course I used a lot of the items I had around the house and only spent $7 at Hobby Lobby buying gift wrapping paper and Elmer's glue.  Looking at the finished project, I love the look and can't believe I didn't do this earlier.  It will look great in the study once I finish updating it.

SUPPLIES:
  - Silver spray paint

  - Spray adhesive & glue
  - File crate
  - Decorative paper (I used rapping paper)
  - Hanging file folders
  - Handing file folder labels
  - Scrap cardboard

  3. What a cute idea! I love the pattern and silver together - I never would've thought to do something that cool with that plastic basket! :)

    I also wanted to say a big THANKS for having This Fresh Fossil in your blog roll! It totally made me smile when I stumbled across it. :)
