Check out my new custom wastebasket! This project came about because I needed a wastebasket for my home office. It needed to have a swing lid. If it had no lid my dogs would dig out the chocolate wrappers and if it had a foot operated lid I would have to get out of my chair to put stuff in it. What I didn’t realize was how hard it would be to find a small wastebasket with a swing lid. After a couple of months of looking, I finally found one at Lowes Hardware. It was cream colored, it was plastic, and it was shiny. BUT, it was cheap. $6.99 cheap. So I bought it and decided to give it a makeover.
Here is the tutorial, if you’d like to make your own.

LOVE THIS!!! How does this clean up if you spill something on it?
Since you seal it with the second coat of mod podge, it should just wipe clean.
I love this.. I am thinking of making one for the kitchen and my sons room
I love it….
You are so talented.
Thank you for sharing!
I love this – and the fact that you called it the outbox! That’s a nice way of saying it. 😀
Awesomeness!!! Never would’ve thought of this but it’s so great! TFS 🙂
