 Hi everyone! I hope that you are doing well. I recently took a trip to my local Dollar Tree and found these stackable plastic organizers. Today we're going to design our very own organizer. You will only need a few materials. Most of my materials were purchased at my local Dollar Tree. You will need three of the plastic organizing drawers. 

Supplies

THREE STACKABLE ORGANIZING DRAWERS 5X5X1.75 IN

ASSORTED FAUX PEARL BEADS

SMALL WOOD BEADS

PEEL AND STICK FLORAL DECALS

PEEL AND STICK DECORATIVE PAPER

HOT GLUE

PAINT- I'M USING ACRYLIC MULTI-SURFACE PAINT

SCISSORS

PAINTBRUSH

ONE PENCIL

Step 1: Applying Paint

Start by taking your paint, and applying it to one of your plastic organizers. You will only apply paint on the top surface. I used my blow dryer between coats. You will need around two coats of paint.

Step 2: Adding Your Decorative Peel and Stick Sticker

After, take your floral peel-and-stick stickers, and begin to add them to the top painted section on your organizer.


Step 3: Tracing

Next, take your peel-and-stick decorative paper, and begin to trace the outline of one of your plastic organizers. Place your organizer on top of your decorative paper, and trace around it. After tracing it out, take your scissors and begin to cut out the traced shape. In the end, you will end up with three cut-out decorative papers.

Step 4: Lining the Drawers

Begin to add each traced shape to your organizer drawers. Remove the backing, and gently press each one onto the bottom of your organizer drawer. If you find that your paper is too big, just take your scissors and trim. 

Step 5: Adding Your Wood Beads

Flip only one of your drawers over. Take four of your wood beads and place each bead onto each bottom corner. Your beads will act as legs on the bottom of your organizer. Apply hot glue onto each corner and add each bead.

Step 6: Attaching Your Organizing Drawers Together

Next, take each of your organizing drawers, and begin to stack them. I used hot glue since I wanted my drawers to not move around. I applied glue onto the four corners of my bottom and middle drawer. Your top drawer should end up being your painted drawer with your floral decal. 

Step 7: Adding Your Faux Pearls

After you have stacked your plastic drawers, take your pearls and add them to the top drawer. 

Step 8: Your Organizer Is Complete

Your organizer is now complete. I love how easy this was to design. Let me know if you decide to create your very own. Thank you so much for stopping by, and creating with me.
