Pretty Crafty Home

Here are some ideas of simple crafty things I have done for my home:

SHOE BOXES
If you like to keep your shoes in boxes, a great way to organize them is to place them in clear boxes.

To find shoes easier, take pictures of your shoes.  Then, PRINT small pictures of your shoes and tape / glue them unto the corresponding shoe box.

I can´t remember here I saw this idea first, but I think it is very clever.  I did it in my closet, and I love it.

LINED BOXES
Many of us keep the shoe boxes as storage.  But we have to admit that they look awful...especially when they came in all sizes and colors.  But there is a way to make them look nicer:  

Shoe boxes or other kind of  sturdy boxes can be lined or covered with fabric...

...or with contact paper.

I used these last ones to store some of my yarn and thread stash.
