I put a leftover piece of steel sheeting on the underside of one of my shelves in my craft room, and the bottles are now upside down on it, so the glue is always in the tip, ready to squirt. It works great!sewasylumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027667441494523425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-42107397574359169622014-02-18T01:26:07.644-05:002014-02-18T01:26:07.644-05:00I have an ornate looking frame from a yard sale, w...I have an ornate looking frame from a yard sale, with no glass. When I looked closer, it was plastic! I am going to paint it, and can't decide whether to put a steel sheet on it like you have, or pad it and make a bulletin board. Also, I put a piece of steel sheeting on the inside of one of my kitchen cabinet doors. I take meds on a schedule and keep my little schedule inside on the board, and no one sees it. This has worked great for me. Your ideas and blog are just great. Your sewing/craft room is fabulous. Did you get those popcorn boxes at Michael's? They look so cute!sewasylumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027667441494523425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-91659373423878470962014-02-18T01:20:46.281-05:002014-02-18T01:20:46.281-05:00This idea is great.

I would just want to remind everyone to try to reuse these plastic things, as they do end up in the landfill and don't decompose, so not good for the planet. I like the idea of washing out and reusing baby food jars, etc. I also use little plastic cups to store my spices, etc, but not disposable ones, so they get reused for years. Then if they crack, I recycle them, or use them for beads or whatever.sewasylumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027667441494523425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-49798679707952466252014-01-23T07:14:11.080-05:002014-01-23T07:14:11.080-05:00FYI-They cost a little more, but I found the round...FYI-They cost a little more, but I found the round magnets with adhesive on one side. <br />Peel off the cover sheet and stick the magnet where you want it.

There have been 2 times when "cups" have fallen off the frame, not the "covers"...one was a particularly freezing cold winter. The hot glue I used to glue the magnets on froze and popped the magnet off. My sewing room is not heated ( it was a three season porch before.) I have a heater on when I'm working, but it gets cold out there when I'm not. <br /><br />The other time when the cup fell off was when I have something heavy in there ( I think it was heavy metal screws). I glue 2 magnet dots on the bottom now and have been trying to use Gorilla Glue when I make more, just because of my temperature issues in my room. <br /><br />Hope this helps,<br />KarenKaren from Sew Many Ways...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05258367030113873230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-91890551857465442932013-06-09T12:08:12.907-04:002013-06-09T12:08:12.907-04:00Hi Karen,

If you put leavier items or fill the cups up do the lids fall off at all (like even once?). Because I am looking to store a whole bunch of things in this type of thing but i really do not want to ever be picking up little bits and peices off the floor if it fails. <br />I am looking at ordering these cups online as I cannot find them anywhere (been asking around) so it will cost me a bit in postage for the amount I want to get. I really do not ant to waste my money if this does not work out.<br />Thanks, hope you can get back to me on this soon.Fairy Kisseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662576104217180972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-77115461313363377062013-06-09T11:56:31.165-04:002013-06-09T11:56:31.165-04:00I want to know the same, shame this hasn't bee...I want to know the same, shame this hasn't been answered yet.Fairy Kisseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662576104217180972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-5770165690752444052012-12-24T22:39:43.732-05:002012-12-24T22:39:43.732-05:00I'm so going to do this with the empty plastic...I'm so going to do this with the empty plastic containers my daughter's baby food comes in!judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714744606618989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-4659190847128620982012-10-18T20:02:49.738-04:002012-10-18T20:02:49.738-04:00Don't forget jello shots for the leftover cups...Don't forget jello shots for the leftover cups, tee hee...
