We got a entry table that we put to the right of the door when you first walk in our house. We throw mail, keys, my purse, my phone, water bottle (it is a catch all station) when waling in the door. Most of the time it is messy ( that's why I didn't snap a picture of the whole table) Anyways, since I won't spend money on decorations, I wanted to share some of the decorations I made for this table.
These were oatmeal containers, coffee containers, and a bread crumbs container that I wrapped in tan yarn (cheaper then rope or twine-and I already had it in the house) and glued it to cover the containers. To get the containers different sizes and lengths, I had to play around with the containers we had to see what would work. I ended up taping together 3 small coffee containers to get the tall one in the back, another coffee container and a bread crumb continaier together to get the middle one, and the oatmeal container is by itself. Once the containers were taped together, I took the hot glue gun out and started wrapping yarn around it, gluing every so often when needed. When they were completely wrapped, I needed something to put inside them. I found these "stick like things" at the Dollar Tree and decided they would work. I bought 2 of them and split them into 3 sections.
This was a popcorn tin that we got for Christmas last year. I covered in with white construction paper and painted a K on it. It now holds all my winter gloves, hats, and scarves.
The baskets on either side of the tin were bought at Wal-mart for $5 each. They are for catch all items. Mr. K has one and I have one.
