Cute Closet

My friend April recently created an adorable and
functional closet for her new baby Henry.
I just had to share the details.

She took the door off of an extra closet and
filled in the holes where the hinges were with spackling.
Then painted the closet and frame white.
Luckily the shelves were already there, but they are EASY
to put in yourself.
They have kits at Lowes.
Next she bought 15 canvas storage bins at Target
for 6 bucks each.

To make the tags for each bin, April purchased left over
matting from Hobby Lobby.
It was already pre-cut for her!
She found coordinating scrapbook paper and made the
backing for each.
Then she took left over nursery linens and cut out the
animals. Next she put iron on "sicky backing" on the
cut outs and hot glued the animals to the matting.
Then labeled with things like "onsies"
She is so smart she even attached the labels to the bins
with velcro so she can reuse them and just re-label
as Henry grows.
I think this would also be a great way to organize your
coat closet (think bins labeled with hats, gloves, scarves)
or even your craft closet using labels like scrapbook paper,
ribbons, giftwrap, candles, etc.
