They are pretty, versatile and will help you organize your stuff. They are also very easy to repair and paint after you have found them really cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. Don't overlook the trash too! People throw these out because they cannot see the possibilities of baskets;You can spray paint them, stencil them, line them, or hot glue something to them to make them look nice. You can then use them to hold craft supplies, newspapers, as a trash can, as a message organizer (for pens and paper) by the phone, or to hold all those miscellaneous weird stuff you find around the house (like extra screws and things). You can also use them to hold cleaning supplies, toys, as a table organizer (napkins, salt and pepper), to organize laundry, and anything else you can dream up! There are many ways to use baskets, and they can be really cheap, so keep your eyes open! |
