Happy Mother’s Day to all of my friends out there!  Welcome to Decorate and More with Tip! Here on my blog I share how you can decorate your home on a budget.  I share budget friendly decorations by creating it from scratch, revamping, re-purposing or giving it a makeover with easy tutorials.  I hope I inspire you to create something beautiful for your home. 🙂

Today’s is the 10 on the 10th Blog Hop, I am joining 8 talented bloggers who gets together on the 10th of the month to share our ideas for under $10. This month’s theme is all about upcycling or re-purposing.

I started working on the closet in my craft room-to-be.  The first thing I wanted to do after I got everything out of the room was paint the closet.  Next was create storage for all of my craft supplies.  Instead of putting up the three shelves in the closet like my previous craft closet I decided to use plastic drawer bins.  We purchased the drawers when our daughter, Kristin was in college.  They served their purpose for her when she was living in the dorm rooms.   When she didn’t want them anymore I stored them up in our attic, like everything else.  I decided to bring them down to use in the closet.

I took the drawers out of the unit and cleaned everything with Formula 409.  Once they were all clean I took them outside to work on them.

I gave each unit two coats of Rust-Oleum spray paint for plastic in the color Gloss Regal Blue.  Each unit took about one can of paint.  I purchased my paint from Lowe’s for $3.98.

Of course it started to rain.  I brought them on our back porch out of the rain to continue to dry.

I have a lot of “stuff” to place inside the drawers which could look pretty sloppy with the clear drawers.  I decided to paint the drawer fronts with Rust-Oleum spray paint for plastic in the color Gloss White.

I let everything dry over night.  The next day I added the drawers to the unit and placed them in the closet.

I have all my craft supplies organized and placed in the drawers.  I love having all my supplies hidden in the drawers.  Painting the units gave the appearance of a piece of furniture instead of a plastic unit, don’t you think?

If you have plastic storage bins and don’t like the look try giving them a new look by spray painting the unit.  It didn’t take long at all and for under $10 you will have a cute storage unit!

I hope my blog gives you inspiration to tackle a few DIY home décor projects.
