You Know Those Shelf Bins They Sell?

I love them for stashing clutter. They aren't expensive, but I prefer things that match a little more seamlessly.

 

I also really preferred to keep the $6.99 in my pocket

Start with a sturdy, straight sided box like this one. You can even check with local restaurants to see if they'd be so kind as to set a few aside for you.

 Trim the handle with an exacto knife.

Then trim the flaps.

A little duct tape reinforces the bottom nicely.

 Spray paint in the desired color. This is going in the boys' room.

I had purchased this scrapbooking paper a while back to decoupage  their light switch covers just like THIS, so the room will have a very coordinated look.

 Lay the box on the paper and sketch the size you need.

 Grab your Mod Podge. This stuff lasts forever.

Spread a nice generous coat evenly on the surface.

Then smooth your paper over it, flattening any air bubbles.

Slather a nice even layer over the top of your paper.

Now, while it's wet, take your exacto knife and cut an X where the box handle is.

Fold the wet paper in and smooth the opening with your finger.

Allow it to dry. I then hot glued some white bias tape around the top as trim. One game bin, done!
