Before:  My favourite porridge comes in a great recyclable container. 

Transformed with just a piece of paper and some double-sided tape... 

Call me Scottish, but I love all things thrifty.  All that kitchen packaging can surely be put to use in my sewing room.  "Be Natural" porridge containers covered with printed paper house scissors, rulers and a stash of op-shop zippers.

My thread now lives in regimented order inside an old desk drawer.

Clear plastic packaging from fruit, veg and biscuits keep small notions organised.

Still working on my cereal box filing system though!
