Upcycled Tool Box to Craft Carrier

These little carriers are so popular! I see them everywhere. I picked this one up at a yard sale for $2. It was an ugly color so I spray painted it yellow. I then used it to house all my glue and glitter at my craft table. Cute and functional!

Functional Art - Turn Your Child's Art into Refrigerator Magnets!

One thing I love to do with some of the smaller art projects and pictures that my kids make is to glue a magnet on the back of them and use them as refrigerator magnets! It is easy to get overwhelmed with all the little projects they do and there is never enough storage to keep them all and throwing them out carries too much guilt so I thought: "Why not turn what I can into something I can use"! You can always change them out easily when new projects arrive (just tear the magnet off the old one and put it on the new project). My kids love seeing their creations displayed this way because it is out where anyone visiting can see it!
