  1. I was not deriding living on a budget. I simply thought it looked better as a basic laundry basket.

    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.

  12. Tina Maness might be something you might wanna try. Didn’t read how it was done.

  13. You can get these at $1 store.

  14. Mine had numerous ads and no click for “next page.”
    I don’t care for click bait or ad heavy posts.

  15. Dodi Phillips here’s a project as your knee recovers. Maybe not so labor intensive!

  16. Our Dollar store only sells round baskets. 🙁 Tips anyone?

  27. Why can’t they just post the idea without having to go through multiple pages? Can you share some new ideas? It’s the same things over and over again. Nothing new for this year.
