How to turn a plastic basket into a rolling carrying tote for 12x12 paper pads

Hello Dear Friends:

Today I want to share with you a storage solution...for the 12x12 paper pads...

Over the Holidays I got crazy and I got several 12x12 paper pads...
Here in the USA the stores in my area were having a huge sale on them and these paper pads come with so many pretty designs and special treatments that I decided to get them...
Guilty me :)...

But the problem was that my storage is already full
as you can see in this post: "How to organize your papers"...

so I had to come up with a solution right away for these extra items!!!

and here it is my idea...
to turn a plain plastic storage bin that I got at "Target", into a rolling carrying tote easy to move around my room...


These plastic bins have the perfect measurements for my 12x12 paper pads...


Organization:
as you  may know I have on the side on the right column of my blog a category called:

"Craft Room Organization", 
in here you can find all sorts of idea organizations 
so I invite you to have a look and maybe you will find some solutions for your stamps, inks, dies, stencils, paints ...and ... paper!

for my tote...I got it like this...from the store...


I ask my husband to cut a piece of wood that you attach with screws to the plastic from the inside


and then you add/screw the wheels on the bottom


standing


Here it is how it looks in my room ...
right in front of the rack of 12x12 paper sheets...


the carpet is not a problem...
I pulled by the handles and it rolls very well so I can move it anywhere in the room

I hope you like my idea 
and that it can help you to get organized!!! :)

See you next time...
Thanks for the visit, lovely comments
and let's plan for another crafty project...


Supplies 

note:
the basket from "Amazon" (see supplies below)  is 2'' smaller that the one that I got in "Target" but the paper pads will fit as well...for the ones of you that do not have a "Target" near you.
mine is from : "Target": "weave extra large storage bin"
