I may or may not have an obsession with jewelry. Okay, I’ll just admit it. I love jewelry. I am always collecting (and making) new earrings, necklaces and bracelets. So, I needed an easy (and big) way to store all my jewelry. Drum roll, please. Here’s what I made!

So, I found this cabinet at the local thrift store…only it was SO UGLY. So, I painted it black and spruced it up. (It desperately needed some excitement.) So, of course I pulled out the Mod Podge and my favorite black and white designed paper and went to work.

But that wasn’t good enough for me.

I also Mod Podged the inside! (The husband thinks I’m insane.) I thought it would be fun if each of the drawers had their own design. Eventually I’m going to make some labels for them, I just haven’t got around to it yet.

I wish I had before and after shots of this project, but just take my word for it … it looks much better now.

Materials:

• Mod Podge
• Scrapbook Paper
• Paint
• Jewelry Cabinet

Total Cost: $50

So, there you have it. Seven fun and easy things you can do with Mod Podge.

Oh, and in case you were wondering what my next craft project is…well, take a look at this UGLY table I found at the thrift store yesterday for $5. Five dollars! I couldn’t resist it.

My husband asked me why I bought such an ugly table. Obviously he doesn’t have the vision, but I can see great possibilities with this table. This weekend I’m pulling out my paint and Mod Podge and going to work. Don’t you think it’ll be a great corner table? Just imagine it black…with some cute embellishments. I can hardly wait to get crafting! Wish me luck!

I don’t have much drawer space in my new place and the closet doesn’t have any cubbies to hold things like hats, scarves and belts. And there isn’t a dresser in the world (at least that will fit in the bedroom) that is big enough to hold all my clothes odds and ends. Is it just me? Maybe it’s my OCD, but I need hats together, and belts and workout clothes (which I should really wear more often) – I need lots of them and I need them organized.

These closet organizers were just the thing I needed. Aren’t those bright colors fabulous? Every time I walk into my closet I smile. It looks so clean and orderly … and that makes my heart happy.

Materials:

• Mod Podge
• Cardboard Boxes (buy them new or use some you already have)
• Spray Paint
• Scrapbook Paper
• Embellishments
• Ribbon

Total Cost: $15 (I had to buy the boxes … $1.50 per box)

All I did was spray paint the boxes black (that way they look nice from the sides and back) and then Mod Podge scrapbook paper to the top. Then have fun labeling and embellishing your boxes. Let them dry for a couple days before you throw your clothes in. And, if you want them to look nice on the inside, spray paint them and then hot glue a piece of felt to the bottom. Then, make sure you show them off to anyone who will come look at your closet.

This would also be a super fun way to keep your little one’s toys organized!

Up next: a sweet way to keep your jewelry organized. The husband says I have too many necklaces. How can you have too many? Seriously. Men.
