I have a ton had a ton of these cardboard crates from my food storage in my basement (I threw a bunch away because I couldn't figure out what to do with them). Then I was unloading a case of green beans and thought, "there has got to be something useful I can make with these." These fabulous and very cute hanging file boxes were the finished product. I LOVE THEM (and am so wishing I hadn't thrown away at least a dozen and a half of these a few months ago). Here's what you need to make these: 2 cardboard crates per 1 hanging file box (make sure they are the same size or if you are going to make a matching set them make sure you are using all the same sizes of boxes.

Spoon Hooks
A few weeks ago a friend and I saw hooks made out of silverware flattened, bent and nailed to a piece of wood. We were inspired and decided to see if we could recreate the look. I didn't take photos as we made them (I have a habit of forgetting my camera...) but I have photos of the end project and the "how to" is pretty straightforward. Supplies: -Spoon (purchased at a thrift store for 99 cents each) -Paint (purchased at Michael's for under $2) -Wooden squares (purchased at Michael's for under $1 each) -Hammer and/or rubber mallet -Drill -Nails First I'll show you finished project so you can see what I'm talking about as I go through the steps. We put a towel down on the cement outside and started hammering away to flatten the spoon.
Another take on my {$3 Frame Makeover} and Great Gift Idea!
Ok...sooo do you remember this: Well... for our Super Saturday...we wanted to make these dry-erase calendars...but wanted a simpler way of doing the grids instead of drawing them on with a permanent marker. Sooo...I asked my awesome sis-in-law {owner of Daisy Dot Design and Decor } if she could make the whole calendar out of vinyl.Funky Quilted Binder Cover

Playing with Pegboard
It's not yet painted or even fully framed, but it was too tempting to start placing tools on my new pegboard. A pegged cap fixes a jar to pegboard. Fill it with buttons, beads, or any other small notions you please. This double, foam-coated hook was intended for a power drill.
