Kids book storage DIY

In my last post I mentioned there was an eye soar and that i'd fix it and write a post around it. So here I am with my DIY post. If you remember my post Glimpses of my house, I had created a reading nook for my son. In the rack I had reused old cartons to keep his books. Yup that was the eye soar and I have fixed it :)

Upscaling used plastic containers

Much against our wishes we all use the dreaded 'plastic' in various forms - carry bags, tiffin boxes, storage boxes, readymade food containers, cosmetic bottles, etc... We throw these containers once their utility ends. I thought of trying and upscaling these containers or atleast some of them. Besides I like to facelift old things to enable them new use. 

Below are pictures of some of the upscaled old plastic containers, they are simple self explanatory DIYs. 

In the below picture I have used a curd container. 

• Cleant it and decorated it with a decorative tape at the base and 3D outliner on the body. 
• This can be used as a planter or as a container to hold the TV/music system remote controllers or to hold mobile chargers etc...

In the below picture I have re-purposed old moisturiser bottle. The bottle is cleant cut and decorated as per desire. These could be used as mobile charger holder.

I got a brainwave and thought of using the same container as a notepad holder. It can hold a few cut blank paper and a pen.

I am ofcourse very thrilled with my work. I had fun crafting these. Do write to me if this inspires you to follow.

Kids activity

Its a tough job to keep the child off screens, given the variety of screens we have in this generation. So, one evening my son was in that irritable mood for no rhyme or reason. Didn't want to colour/write/read books etc... I kept on wondering what I should do other than whack him.

Remembered I had some stickers in my craft box. Pulled it out. Then picked up an old used curd container [clean one].
