And with the snow comes excess snow gear. We had a Christmas cookie tin acting as our hats, gloves, scarves, etc. holder, but it was overflowing and just not very cute. So we decided we needed a more attractive storage area where all of our snow gear would comfortably sit.

I absolutely love the way these came out, and it’s such a sigh of relief not having that eye-sore of a tin can just sitting by our front door overflowing with all of our winter accessories. Now it looks clean, tidy, and pretty. My kind of storage.

I started with these crates and baskets, both of which I got from Michaels.

Those baskets were 50% off and I’m obsessed with them. I think they’re so gorgeous.

After I had the supplies I needed from Michaels, I headed to Home Depot to pick out the stain I wanted. I originally was going to go with a brown, but then I thought that a nice shade of blue would be perfect. Especially because I plan on redoing our front room into an old Americana theme (spoiler alert). I decided on the Atlantic stain at Home Depot.

I applied three layers of stain to the crates and let them dry for about 48 hours. They came out perfectly–I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful colored stain.

Once dry, I had my handsome helper mount them to the wall using 4 drywall anchors for each crate. I wanted them to be really secure. I know right now they only house light accessories, but who knows what will be stored in there in the summer–plus our cats like to climb on everything and one of our cats is overweight, so I wanted to make sure the crates could hold him. Sorry Marshall.

Then I put in the baskets, and voila! Beautiful and efficient mudroom storage. Perfect for all your little accessories and items you need to grab on your way out the door!

Now that you’ve seen my new organization, I’d love to see your mudroom storage ideas ! Do you have any fancy mudroom secrets?Any cool crafts with crates?

Today we’ll be upcycling your old tin cans into pretty flower pots and hanging planters. Again, very easy to do and as always you can use fabric bits and pieces that you have lying around. If you’ve just made a quilt for a bedroom, you could make some pretty flower pots to match.

You don’t have to make pots out of your tins, you can use them as vases also.

Would you like to make some?

Here’s a guideline of things that you can use…

• fabric- I mainly used linen
• buttons
• paint
• string
• doilies
• pretty paper
• ribbon and lace
• ric rac

You will also need:-

• old tin cans that have been cleaned and dried
• paint brushes
• glue- or a hot glue gun
• drill- or hammer and a large nail (if you are making them hanging)
• scissors

To make your flower pot

1. Clean and dry your old tin. If you are painting your tin, paint it and leave to dry.

2. If making it a hanging flower pot, drill two holes on each side of the tin. If you don’t have a drill, or know someone that does, use a hammer and a very big nail and nail a hole on each side of the tin. Make sure you remove the nail!

3. Decorate! Use your imagination!

3. Decorate! Use your imagination!

This is what I did for some of mine:-

– For the doiley pot– Paint the tin white. When dry, take a paper doiley and hold it in place, whilst you dab the pink paint onto the doiley (make sure you dab, and not stroke the paint on, otherwise your pattern won’t show). Remove the doiley and paint the rest of the tin pink. You can glue a button in the middle when dry.

– For the button pot– Paint a strip of white paint around the top of the tin, about 1/3 of the way down. When dry, use a hot glue gun and glue buttons all the way around the lower 2/3’s of the tin. Leave to dry.

–For the fabric pot– Take a strip of linen, measure it to make sure that it goes all the way around the tin. Fray the edges of the linen. Glue the strip of fabric into place with the hot glue gun. Wrap some string around the pot several times and secure into place with a bow. You can make a paper feather using an up and coming tutorial of mine.

Now all you need to do is find some pretty pot plants to put into your newly pimped tin cans, or a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.

Now where are you going to put them?
