[...] Many of these items, such as the egg cartons and tea boxes, fit perfectly inside the shelves of my plastic craft cupboard. If you want to display your re-purposed storage items, I recommend following my tutorial on turning a tea box into a beautiful, decorative box. I was going to do this with my other tea boxes, but haven’t gotten around it yet. The tutorial can be found at orgjunkie.com. [...]

This is cool. I was skimming and I was thinking — I know Laura is an org freak, but I didn’t know she was a crafty freak too! So I was glad to see that it was a guest post. I don’t think I can handle knowing that you are ALL those things.

I like the idea of using them for gift boxes also. I wonder if scrapbook paper would work, too — though I know old magazines are cheaper!

Thanks for your lovely comments, everyone!
For those of you wondering, Gail Vax-Oxlade does her show in Ontario, sticking mostly to the Toronto region. (Her latest episode was filmed in my town, Guelph!)

Julie – Yes, I believe mack-tac is like contact paper – it’s clear, sticky paper. I think that mod-podge would work too. Hope it works out nicely for you!

c – can you use them to hold pens/pencils/markers, collect change, loose buttons, or small, miscellaneous items like bread tags, elastics, etc? Or, if someone in your household is a painter, you can store your paint brushes, or mix water paints in them.

Beautiful gift box idea! I too love Gail Vaz Oxlade and have been on her blog. I am in the process of preparing a budget for our family and am using her tips a lot.
