Bread box turned (polka dot) sewing storage box

Do you ever buy something because it’s cute, but have NO clue what you’re going to do with it? That is how I got this bread box.. My Mom bought it from a thrift store. Although at the time I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it, I knew I could find SOME use for it. :)

After brainstorming for a while, and looking online to see what other “Bread box to..” projects had been done (most people convert them into charging stations for their phones/Ipod/etc.) I decided that I would use mine to store all of my sewing tools.

So, here is the before..

LOVED the color, but wasn’t in love with the plain-ness. :)

And here it is now..

Adorable, right!?

All it took was some vinyl and my Cricut to cut out the circles. :)

Here are some shots of the inside..

Inside is my ruffler foot that my boss GAVE me (hence, her name is one it..ha!), Rotary cutter, fabric scissors, elastic, velcro, Fabri-tac, seam rippers, needles, and some Heat ‘N Bond.

 

So what do you think? It came with some canisters, as well. I am having a debate (with myself..lol!) as to whether or not I should give them a dotty transformation as well.. Hmm… :)
