My Thrift Store Bargin

My best friend Lisa and I decided to go to a couple of our favorite Thrift Stores on Saturday and I got such a great deal that I had to share it with everyone.
I had recently seen a you tube video where you can use the wire cubes and make a 12 x 12 paper rack. So, when I saw these four packs all taped together for only  $ 2.99 each  I knew it was worth it even if I only got enough to make a few shelves. At that price I was willing to risk it
 Then I stopped by the Dollar Store and bought zip ties to hold it all together.
After I got home I ended up with 23 plastic pieces and 19 wire pieces.

So to recap...
4 packs for $ 2.99 each
5 packs of zip ties for $1.50 each
About $20.00 give or take a little..... And this is what I made....


When I first started putting it together it was a little tricky but then it got easier.
I can tell you it took me about an hour to get it all together. Also, make sure you cut the zip ties off as close as you can because they are sharp and you could get cut on them.
AWESOME ... I LOVE IT. CAN'T WAIT TO PUT ALL MY PAPER IN THIS !!
When I get it all full I'll take another picture.
Keep on scrappin !!
