Wait… did that sound right? Not storage for babies babies, but storage for all the crap that comes with them! So, I wanted to do something fun for my daughters bedroom and decided to add a little life to these bland storage bins for her toys, books, and diapers.

Here is how I made these updated baby storage bins.

Materials needed:

  • Fabric Storage Bin
  • Material of choice
  • Wooden frame
  • Hot glue gun
  • Staple gun
  • Oval wooden plaque
  • Computer
  • Colored scrapbook paper of choice

Using a staple gun, staple fabric to the wooden frame and hot glue it to the fabric bin. Wooden frames can be found at IKEA for $1.99 for three! The design is up to you. I printed out symbols that my brother designed with my computer on scrapbook paper and glued it to an oval wooden plaque.

Here are a few close up pictures.

My favorite things… dollar bins!

by Dinah Wulf

One of my favorite things EVER is the good ole dollar bin, especially for parties. Many major retailers like Target, Joann Fabric and Craft Stores, and Michaels all have dollar bins with fantastic deals that you can easily personalize. You can find everything from party favors to decorations.

So I picked an absolutely impossible party theme for my daughters first birthday, Rock and Roll Paul Frank, and had to get creative. I know, I know, my daughter is only 9 months old. Good thing I made these party favors three months ago…

These bubbles were four for one dollar.  The originally had an Easter sticker on the top, so I just placed a Paul Frank sticker over it to fit the party theme.

These dollar bin boxes made perfect favor boxes.  I added a personalized label and stuffed it with goodies for each kid.

These are popular rubber band bracelets.  They come in a 12 pack for one dollar.  I broker them up in sets of four and made my own personalized packaging.  This favor cost less than thirty cents each!
