FABRIC COVERED BINS
Supplies:
- Spray adhesive
- Dollar Store plastic basket bins
- fabric
- scissors
Directions:
According to talesfromacottage:
1. Measure enough fabric as if you were gift wrapping a present to cover the whole bin.
2. Spray the bottom of the bin generously with spray adhesive and place it in the middle of the fabric.
3. Cut diagonally into each corner from the edge of the fabric, stopping about half an inch or so before reaching the corner of the bin.
4. On two parallel sides, ( I chose the longest side of my bin), cut away the excess fabric on each side and fold, so as to create a nice straight line. Spray each fold with spray adhesive.
5. Spray adhesive on the smaller ends of the bin covering completely. Fold and smooth the angled pieces of fabric up along the sides of the bin, and even overlap onto the longer sides a bit. You may need to pull it off a couple of times until you get it nice and smooth. Repeat on the opposite short side of the bin.
6. Spray the longer side of the bin and the inside with spray adhesive. Fold and smooth the pre-folded sides up along the side of the bin and into the center of the bin. This should overlap the fabric that you previously secured. Repeat on both sides.
You may need to fill in a couple holes, if so, just use scraps and spray.
These look beautiful when they are completed and even better when you make a set of them. Perfect for the laundry room, toys, socks or whatever you have laying around that needs a home.

I use to have little bins in my pantry for those little packages of gravys, seasonings, keep them from falling over and easy to get to. After I moved I forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder..

So it says you only need 2 supplies but 4 are listed? They can’t count or what?
2 much work ..Just my opinion
Fabric cost more than the bin……buy another bin and pitch the old one.
Yes! Monica Henry Rayburn Sharla Emory Vicki Smith Dodds I’m doing this!

I counted 4 supplies, not 2 once I clicked to the end. This is why ya get blocked. Stupid.

A rather gawdy choice of fabric but, hey, whatever floats your boat.
Don;t waste your time clicking…she sprays it with spray adhesive and covers in fabric.
Looks nice but how on earth do you clean that? I will stick with plastic bins. Good idea though

Neat idea!
Velcro would be good so you can change the fabric when it gets dirty..or a plastic shower curtain
great idea
