Yep it's super ugly, BUT here's the thing, it's just right for sorting my handouts for the week on my desk, so it has been sitting on my desk like this all these years. Yes seriously. Well, after wishing I could find something as useful, but way cuter, the lightbulb finally went off and I realized the key to making anything cuter: SPRAY PAINT! I know, genius. So, here's the big reveal:
I loved how it turned out so much I even made some chalkboard labels with the days of the week to go on the side. Now I don't have to be embarrassed every time I have a sub that has to get the daily handouts out of this. And the best part of all? I already had all of the spray paint from another project so it didn't cost me a dime. Love a win-win!
Okay, I made it through my first link up post (well it remains to be seen if I'll actually be able to link this post up.....) Go check out all of the awesome ideas here:
