Storage Bins
Looking for craft room organization ideas before the school year starts? If you struggle to keep things in their place, you might consider an unconventional organizing method – sorting by colour!
-
Prep bins – make sure they are clean and sticker free. If needed, wipe with Krud Kutter to help remove the stickers.
-
Tape the bins. Every bin had a few inches of paint area and was taped off with painter’s tape.
- Cover the areas you don't want painted. I used a really wide painter’s tape, added a garbage bag over the top, and taped it on top of the tape. This was mostly to keep the spray from splattering where I didn't want it.
- Spray the paint using slow, back-and-forth motions.
-
Remove tape and garbage bag.
- Allow the bins to dry fully and fill the bins with all the pretty-coloured supplies you have!
