A Very Simple Project and Something New!
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Not too long ago I found an old slide box filled with these fun industrial looking slide trays! They are open across part of the base, but I thought there must be lots of fun ways to use them~ holding sparkly glitter jars, perhaps...or maybe tea bags, splenda bags, etc? They originally held 2" x 2" slides. I decided to use one at Junk Bonanza...I used these stick on letters...
and put them on the graphic numbered label side...
It became a perfect place for these...
Fun, huh? Can you think of some other fun uses for these?
If you don't have a source for these...I have a few in our new etsy shop Romantic Farmhouse! You may have noticed the new widget on the sidebar~ we just opened this week!
This is our second shop and we will be listings lots of fun items! I hope you'll pay us a visit and check it out!
Until next time...
Linda

That is a fantastic idea...I really like the look too.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love finding new uses for old things??? I'm not as creative as you but I'm sure if I had these I'd find something to use them for. Maybe in a bathroom to hold bottles of cream, etc. Maybe hold napkins in the kitchen. I like your ideas much better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea. Congratulations on the new Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea...the perfect spot for your cards! Good luck with your new Etsy shop...I'll have to go take a peek :) Take care, Laurel

Congratulations on your new shop, Linda! I will be checking it out. I love this idea for these old slide trays. I think I have some of these from my parents. It would also be a good way to store other people's business cards that you wanted to keep on file.
ReplyDeleteHey Linda....!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on the new Etsy Shop Lovey....You just KNOW I'll be popping in there for SURE....After all....Some of my YUMMIEST Treasures came from your space at Junk Bonanza....!

Cheers for now from Oz,
Tamarah :o)
How creative and I love what you did with your great find :)
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteYour re-purpose ideas are always the best! I could give you a wad of trash & you'd make it into something fabulous! I just read thru you fall Bachman House tour. Is that a real house? I mean does anyone live there or is it done just for show? It's so amazing. I'd love to visit, of course I don't need to cuz you take us along with you! Can't wait for Christmas. Lisa
Oh My Gosh I just found your blog and what caught my eye was Sophie & Bailey. I have a Pug and I love our pugs they are just so sweet. I need to get Sissy's picture on my blog.
