Dan unwittingly sparked my Day 24 make by asking me to put my beading supplies away. They’d been spread out over the top of a cabinet in the dining room for a few days, waiting for me to reorganize. One of the benefits of Make N’ Tell has been getting the supplies out for different projects, thereby disentangling them from my all-purpose “craft busket.” With this in mind, I thought it would be great to make a nice place to keep my jewelry making supplies.
I happened to have some paperboard boxes that I painted white in preparation for decoupaging approximately 7-9 years ago. Benefit #2 of Make N’ Tell is getting to use some of the stuff that’s been kicking around for a while. I decoupaged one of the boxes with hot pink tissue paper, then added some funky stickers from Michael’s once it was dry.

My supplies fit perfectly inside and are now adorning my bookshelf in the office rather than languishing in the chaotic basement busket. Hooray for purposeful crafts!
