The average home is getting smaller. Because of this, knowing how to be creative with storage space is essential as a homeowner. Plastic storage bins are a great start. They’re versatile, easy to use, and come in all shapes and sizes. Keep reading for some DIY tips for plastic storage bins. 

Toy Storage
Visit your local dollar store and pick up some wrapping paper and burlap fabric. With these two items, you can easily make a toy box out of a plastic storage bin. If you have kids, this is a simple way to create a toy box. 

Cat Litter Box

This one might seem out there, but hear us out. Top entry litter boxes are usually more expensive than front entry litter boxes. Instead, buy a plastic storage bin, use a box cutter to cut an opening in the top, and voila! You have a DIY litter box ready to go.

Christmas Ornaments
Holiday items generally go into storage each year, so having a great storage system in your home is essential. If you need a reliable method to store your ornament, look no further than a plastic storage bin. Simply drill two rods into the sides, and hang ornaments on the rods. This will keep delicate and fragile ornaments safe and secure all year long. 

Backyard Pond

Have you ever wanted a backyard pond, but couldn’t justify the expense of having one professionally installed? Here’s a great alternative option! Dig a hole as deep and wide as the bin, and then insert the storage bin into the hole. Fill in the cracks with soil, add plants and decorative elements around it, and then fit the bin with rocks, water, and even fish, if you’d like! Your options are endless.
