Before I bought a house, my husband and I moved around, a lot. We never really bought enough furniture to hold all of our clothing (plus my junk) etc. I purchased several of those 3 tiered plastic storage bins on wheels. They work like mini dressers, craft stations, hide all your junk you have no other place for containers. They are great! Downfall, they are ugly. Companies tried to make them fun, bright colors (higher prices), wider drawers etc. I am too old for a bight purple bin sitting front and center in my tiny room. I have seen many creative people use modge podge and basically redo the entire thing. I think they look great, but I am WAY too LAZY for that! Below is my quick solution. I didn't even worry about making the paper go all the way to the top of the drawer, just to where there was a line that made life easy. I used some extra scrapbook paper I had laying around.

| The beginning of hiding my junk |
I measured with a ruler to the line, then cut the paper to fit. The nice thing if you use a 12x12 scrapbook piece of paper is, you only have to cut straight across to the measured height. These containers have 12 inch drawers. I used scotch tape to hold the paper in place (no messy glue or drying time)

| Finished in less than 5 mins |
I used map looking scrap paper, but you could use old maps if you had any laying around. Or, pick out paper that goes with your decor. I made this really easy for me, but you are welcome to get really crafty and bust out the glue and fancy paper and show me up!
I'd love to see what you came up with! :)
