The Undercover Crate...

OK, if you have been looking for different ideas for storage I have a seriously cool project for you to try....seriously...cool...seriously. Did I mention I was serious? Alrighty, now...This is what you do:

1. Go to THIS link and print off the directions.

2. Go to your all time favorite fabric store (such as this one, this one, or this one) and pick up some awesomly awesome fabric. I chose some that goes in my living room because I was in desperate need of some storage in there for all of my yarn. I have quite a bit. Scot couldn't believe I filled one of these things up with all yarn. I'm obsessed. What?

4. Unfortunately you will have to go to this store to find the best deal on the crate. Sorry. The pattern does show you how to customize this project to any kind of open storage crate like this but I just like these crates because they are sturdy and a good size...

3. Come home and follow the directions and in about an hour you will have one seriously CUTE storage crate! I plan to make more of these for all over the house. I LOVE it!

Go from this:

Happy Sewing!!!

Is this the start of an obsession for containers/baskets? Or is this just an on going thing? I love all your obsessions and wish I had time to do mine.

Ok, that's it. I'm buying you at ticket to come back home. I seriously need you here for about a week to help me get all these projects done. I love these crates. I want some for my scrapbook room. Good job!

Super cute. It's too bad I spend my personal fund in about 5 minutes into the month. It makes for a long month.

Very cute! I need a cute one of these for all our diaper crapola in the living room. (Because I'm too lazy to keep it in the other room and go get it when I need something.)

Seriously, you are an answer to prayers. I have been looking all over for cute storage for all of Elsie's little toys and this would be perfect. Seriously, thank you! And I love the color combo!
