Use remnants of wrapping paper to dress up drab drawers and cabinets around the house. Here, a slice of Square Pegs/Round Holes recycled gift wrap by Ecosaurus is used to line a kitchen drawer. |
At home, cabinets and drawers provide a streamlined artifice for storing a hodge podge of homeowner necessities. People love these storage spaces because they offer hiding places for everything while giving the appearance of beauty and order regardless of what lies beneath. The world's super-organized types further up the ante of beauty and order - thoughtfully arranging the items inside those cabinets and drawers in often awe-inspiring ways. But for less organized types, there's still a quick and easy way to enhance the interior look of drawers and cabinets without having to become the methodical person you are not. The way? A pretty liner. And instead of going to the store to buy one, we suggest using a remnant of handsome gift wrap you have around the house.
Project supplies:
Remnant of wrapping paper
Scissors
Tape or Elmer's adhesive puddyMaking it happen:
I am in and out of one particular kitchen drawer every day. While the drawer was designated for a few random items (kitchen essentials, keys, a couple markers for making lists), the drawer's setup was no sight for sore eyes. As part of an ongoing fall cleaning initiative, I emptied the thing, wiped it out and tacked down a remnant of Ecosaurus recycled wrapping paper. Now, not only is the drawer free and clear of a few items that didn't belong, it's pretty in there. The attached photo is proof in the pudding (even though I've since added two sets of keys and a pair of purple scissors.)
Note: This post is part of a series on atypical uses for Ecosaurus recycled cards and gift wrap. The series is intended to inspire and demonstrate how one Ecosaurus purchase not only goes a long way with our green start-up, but goes a long way with customers in terms of possible uses.
