How To: Fabric Bankers Boxes

I love when things are organized. Keeping them that way, however,
is another story. Now & then I get the urge, and dump out a closet
or two for a full on cleansing. Since I have no warning whatsoever ... more
…
to when these urges will strike, I never seem to have a stash of
adorable organizational boxes on hand. Plus, it's hard for me to pay

a pretty penny on "cute boxes" that willSave
be stashed in a closet
anyway - maybe I'm just cheap! I know it's all the rage right now to
have your closet not only organized, but absolutely friggin' adorable
too for all of pinterest to awe over - but let's face it, that takes some
dough! And there's no way More like this
my closet is getting the cute-ify funds
before the rest of the house does, am I right? I always end up using
whatever empty box is lying around, scribbling on the side of it in
sharpie, and wishing it looked better. So when I saw this post from
Craftaholics Anonymous, it really hit home. Cheap, Cute, and could
be made on the fly with scraps around the house. I present to you,
Fabric Covered Bankers Boxes: Nice, huh? I've covered boxes in
paper before in the name of being cheap thrifty, and they never
make the long haul. I've decoupaged it on, covered it in packing
tape, you name it. This though? Perfect solution. Fabric is durable,
adorable, and you could coat it in a polycrylic if you really wanted
some protection from dust & dirt. Plus, isn't it nice to know that a
standard bankers box, which runs you all of $2 or so, fits perfectly
into IKEA's expedit shelf? I'll say! How do I know it's an Expedit? It's
creepy, really. I have no idea how this happened to me, maybe I was
struck by Ikea lightning or something - but ever since my first
catalog, I've had their inventory completely memorized. This is a
strange, effortless phenomenon - I can even quote you prices most
of the time. And I don't sit around studying the catalog all day either
- this is a mystery to me, but hey - it works, so why argue. Plus to
double check, I read up on the blog that it is indeed Expedit. :)
Which is Ikea's newer line of affordable shelves, I think they are
steering away from Billy. Whoah.... too much Ikea there. Suddenly I
want swedish meatballs.... I originally saw these boxes over at
Craftaholics Anonymous, but it looks like the original post is from
Adventures of Brad and Kendra. So head over to either one, spread
some love if you're feeling it, and get yourself some bankers boxes.
