Project Clean Up 2017, Week 4 Results, Part 1: Prize Box



    The first half of my Week 4 project is finished. I kind of went backwards than how I had it posted. I began with the prize box, as it wouldn't take nearly as long and I still had some items to purchase for the greeting card box. Here is what I began with, an old diaper box. 



    There are a ton of various toys, pencils, play jewelry and such down in this box that have been through the mill due to the fact that it doesn't close and is very hard to store. 




My solution:




   It is just a plastic Sterilite container with a snap on lid. Simple, but a huge improvement! It is amazing what had gotten tossed in over the years. I dumped the whole box and went through it thoroughly. Tossed broken crayons, faded tattoos, mini bubble bottles that had dried, little empty plastic ziplocs, broken bracelets....lots can happen with 14 years worth of children's hands rummaging through it! A Walmart plastic bag of garbage thrown away and it was all ready for it's new home! 





One more added touch to get the kiddos excited....





It is finally ready to store on my garage shelf, neatly and ready for its next use! 

Next up to get finished, my greeting card box. Only 1 day to get it finished before the new week starts! Will check in when I am done.
