Junk Holders! I mean.... supply holders!

Hello all! Happy Hump Day!

We all have those little things that lie around the house in masses and get lost on a regular basis (hair ties - can I get an Amen?). This project is an up-cycled way to keep all those things together.

You know all those jugs you go through, like milk jugs, laundry detergent and softener bottles, etc... this is a great way to recycle and to save money instead of having to buy bins. These work especially great in the garage for nails, screws and other sharp objects since these containers are fairly heavy duty. WASH Thoroughly and dry before starting.

You will need a pair of sharp scissors, marker, sandpaper, and a knife.

Mark your area that you would like to leave open. You can make it as open or closed as you like, but remember to make it big enough to get your hand through.

I like to leave the handles because it just makes it handier.

There are some spots that are too thick for your scissors to go through, so you will need a sharp knife to saw.

Once you are done with that step, you will need to sand down the edges because they will be SHARP.
 Recycle the unused part.
Then your holders are ready! Or you can get super creative and paint them all up with fun colors... Or... Oooh! Chalk board paint would be fabulous because then you could draw on them! The possibilities are endless. Have fun with it!
