August Pick 3 Pinterest Party

Welcome to Pinterest Pick 3 Linky! It's serious crunch time with school starting for many of us! Of course my Pins for this month are all back to school inspired!

Target had the best plastic letter size baskets in the dollar section. They were so much cheaper than the expensive ones I saw online, but they were the wrong color! (My classroom colors are the same colors as the picture below.) I ended up finding the posts above and below, so with the help of my hubby, they got a little makeover. Check out the directions on these pins, and then you can see the idea we he came up with for drying them here.

This dish drying rack turned organizer is genius! And with my (husband's) spray paint skills, I can paint this to match my decor! My dependable parent volunteer will absolutely love this to store her binders and other supplies!

I wish I would have made the time over the summer to complete this project! It's simply fabric and Mod Podge! I have heard of people using squares of scrapbook paper too. I am going to have to try this one of these days! I always end up covering my file cabinet with posters, but this would be so much nicer!

  1. I didn't know plastic could be spray painted. Your plastic drawers look so bright and cheery. I'm sure they're going to bring nice color to your classroom. I have a dish rack folder holder, also. It never dawned on me to paint it. Thank you for your great ideas. Wishing you a fabulous school year.

  3. I didn't know plastic could be painted either. I saw people painting their filing cabinets, but that's a NoNo at our school. So, maybe I can paint/coordinate my personal plastic items. Thanks for the tip!

  4. We aren't allowed to change any school owned furniture. So, I just have to look longingly at the beautified filiing cabinets. Love the dish rack organizer idea. Pinned!

    1. I wonder if laminated sheets of scrapbook paper and tape could be used? I'm always thinking of workarounds, ha ha! Thank you for stopping by! :)

  5. I had seen the spray painted baskets on Pinterest too but was always skeptical that it would actually work. Now I can't wait to try it out. I will be looking for my husband's assistance as well.

    1. Oh, Julie, I have struggled with my room this year! It's a new room, and oddly shaped, which has made decorating difficult!! Hopefully the kids like it though!

    1. I can see why, Breanna! It's so easy! I have to get one of those dish drying racks and spray paint it teal!
