New Use for an Old Cassette Tape Holder
I saw this cassette tape holder at the thrift store for $1 and new I wanted the challenge of making it into something fun! I created a bedside table organizer and it works great!
I covered the fronts of the drawers with a piece of plastic that my husband had. He scored it and snapped it to size for me. I wanted a little more detail so I added a small strip of balsa wood to the front toward the top.
Then I started painting. I am wanting a new bedding set so I painted to match it. I used spray paint that bonds to plastic. This is my new best friend. I seem to use it for a lot of projects.
I used a cream/white for the base and orange for the drawers.
Then I stenciled/painted some swirls on the fronts of the drawers and the top of the base piece. I used green, light blue and orange for the swirls. Again, this matches the new bedding that I want.
I painted some small wooden knobs and glued them to the front using wood glue for the drawer pulls.
This is how my space looked before the organizer. (such a mess, I know)
And this is what it looks like now.
Much better, right?
I love it! Please visit my blog for more fun projects!
