I know some of you like legos and just came across this cute idea. http://www.obseussed.com/2011/07/lego-storage-jar-diy-craft-and-books.html
 
obSEUUSED, a family crafting and fun blog shares the idea and instructions.
 
 
 
You'll need empty baby food jars or you could use larger containers like coffe containers etc.
 
Here's a preview of the description:
HOW TO MAKE LEGO JARS:
Peel off the wrappers and take off the lids.
Lay out newspaper on a flat surface or use an old box to set the jars on.
Turn jars upside down and spray the first coat to cover the bottom & round edges of the jar. Once dry, turn over and spray 1-2 more coats. Spray the jars and lids (while off) from all angles. Don't paint the inside.
Tip: 1 can of spray paint covered about 30 jars & lids with 2-3 coats. Next time I may not spray the top of the jar (where the spirals are) because it makes it more difficult to put the lid on.
