I’m always looking for ways to better organize our ever-shrinking house and all of its contents. My most recent mission: Project Find-a-Place-to-Stash-Baby-Toys-In-the-Living Room (admittedly, mission name needs work ;-)). Whether you’re tucking away toys however, or covering-up craft supplies I’ve found that the dorm section of your favorite discount store will usually have a solution. The problem? That solution rarely has an in-home design aesthetic. Don’t you worry my Crafties, in this case that dilemma is easily remedied with $1 worth of 2nd-hand fabric and some glue. Here’s how you can transform a plain plastic cube into a deco-cubbie!
Materials
Plastic Cubbie (Mine is the Itso Storage Cube from Target)
1 yd, Thrift Store Fabric
Recycled Cardboard
Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Spray
Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue
Scissors
How-to
Measure how big to make each panel. If you’re using the same cube as I did, panels will be 12 1/8″.
Cut 4 panels out of cardboard.
Cut 4 panels out of fabric, making them at least a 1/2″ larger around than cardboard pieces.
In a well-ventilated area, cover front of cardboard piece with Tacky Spray. Center fabric on top and smooth over. Repeat for each square.
Fold extra fabric over the backside of each cardboard panel and Tacky Glue down.

The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes.
