Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Repurposed Rolodex

rolodex.jpgLove to organize? Would you love to become organized? Christy Petterson at getcrafty.com transformed a hand-me-down Rolodex into a craft organizer. She’s especially fond of dyeing fabric and making jewelry, and she finds that she can keep track of tiny jewelry parts and their part numbers by attaching them to flip-through Rolodex cards.

This would be great for any craft, really. Paint swatches, thread samples, yarn samples, ink pad samples – all of these, plus their pertinent information, would fit well onto these handy cards. It’s like a design file, only smaller.
