I've been sucke

tted this awesome idea to great a geometric pyramid of buckets to store toys -- you know all the little toys that end up in the floor and under the couch.

Grosgrain Fabulous posted this picture of the creation -- it was from a design home event where a product from

around $300.  I can't find it in their inventory now.

She posted one simple sentence: The project could be replicated by drilling tiny holes along the rim of each bucket then connect with zip ties.

SO I'M GOING TO INTERJECT THE REST.

You'll need

1.  A drill (Make sure your drill bit fits the rim of your bucket)

2.  Zip ties - price will vary but you can get a pack of 10 to 20 for around $3

3.  Buckets are $1 at the Dollar Tree

4.  Follow the drill patterns in the picture so you'll get an idea on where to place the holes to connect with the zip ties

It will do best near a wall.

If you create this I would love to see a picture.

BARGAIN MOM TIPS --

You could use a variety of colors or stick with a monochromatic look.
