Good Morning!
Today I am sharing how I turned some inexpensive dollar tree wood boxes into a pretty desk organizer as well as updated a simple glass vase to a much more high end look!
I wanted to create a fun organizer for my desk space and decided to use some of these wood boxes that I had purchased at dollar tree to see what I could come up with.
I started by removing all the boxes from the packaging and taking out the wooden drawers.
Then I used some wood glue to glue 3 of the wood boxes together.
I wanted 2 sets of 3 of the boxes so I used a total of 6 of the wood boxes from dollar tree.
After the glue had dried, I wanted to place the 2 sets together however I wanted the back section to sit up higher than the front so I glued some wood caps to the bottom for feet.
After the glue dried I placed the front and back section together using wood glue as well.
I went back and forth on if I wanted to paint my new organizer or leave it natural.
I eventually chose to paint it, however I left the interior and the wood feet in the natural wood color and I think it turned out so pretty.
Then it was time to load it up and put it to use.
Small mason jars fit perfectly into the sections so I chose to use them in the back for taller items.
In the front I put some of my post it notes, scotch tape, and the highlighters that I use for my bible.
After I had my items in my new organizer, I chose to dress it up even more with this fun rhinestone look ribbon and I am really loving how it turned out.
That just elevated it so much!
So I simply taped off the top with a piece of card stock and painters tape to protect the portion of the vase that I didn't want to paint.
this vase turned out!
I may have to make more of those because I decided to put this one in my kitchen instead of on my desk. lol. 😉
