As a former Scout leader, Ive made similar containers from recycled materials before. This pattern is very nicely written, but I did find one point of confusion. After the sleeve is placed in and over the oatmeal container, Im having a hard time visualizing the next step. A photo, or better yet, a series of photos would greatly help clear up the confusion.

This is such adorable storage! I'd actually look forward to getting organized with something this cute. What better way to store your crafting supplies than with your own creation?

A terrific and simple storage solution can be made using some recyclables that you would normally throw away. They can be upcycled to use on your shelves or desk at home and or at work. No one ever has to know that they are made from stuff most people throw away. They are very sturdy and last.
