Turn Crap into a Craft Station
By DIY Maven
Elizabeth found some crap on the curb and turned it into craft/tool station. It started with a railing from a crib. Or maybe it was from some old shelving. Either way, it inspired a very nice project. Other stuff she used to complete the project included:
- wood screws
- wire (to make hooks)
- 3/8-inch dowels
- power strip
- nuts, washers, and bolts
- primer
- paint
- scrap 1×4 piece of wood
- newspaper or drop cloth
- drywall anchors or molly bolts (optional)
Elizabeth has an eye for a good deal, as she also added four, $1.50 wall pocket hangers from JoAnn's, a $3.50 thrift store spice rack, dowels and wire from Freecycle and a salvaged bench vice compliments of her father. You can see how Elizabeth put the whole thing together on this page at Crafty Nest.

That's a great idea. I may be on the lookout for more old cribs to repurpose.

You could turn one of them into a pot rack. Hang it overhead by chains, add S hooks....just a thought.

Thanks Mave! Now I know what to do with the old crib sides from a cheapy crib I got to use the ends for an easel. I've been wracking my brain and hadn't come up with anything I really liked yet. This I love!
