A couple years ago, Target had those linen bins in their dollar section. When they are normally priced at $4.00 a pop, that is a fabulous deal. I picked up a bunch and quickly put them to use around the house. A few years later, this is what they looked like:
First, they are this light tan color and they have numerous stains on them which I have no clue what they were made from. I needed to update them and fast. I need bins in the boy's room to hold Mr I's newly made cloth diapers. Not wanting to buy new ones, I set out to JoAnn's to get some fabric.
I originally was going to sew covers for the bins but after cutting the fabric too small (agh, measure twice cut once) and not wanting to make this project too expensive I dug out my trusty
Mod Podge!
I took off the handles with my seam ripper:
Cut the fabric so it was about 1/2 an inch longer then the sides of the bins and mod podged the fabric on. The beauty about fabric is if you put on just a light layer of mod podge then it won't seep through the fabric and you get a nice clean fabric look. I did opposite sides first and then the front and back. I folded the fabric under only on the sides of the front and back so that there was a clean line. Mod podge is a natural fray check so the I don't have to worry about the fabric fraying. Yay!
Final product:
Nice clean lines and nice new looking bins! The beauty of the project is that it only took like an hour.
Here is the before and after:
Much better looking then the before!
