Hello, I'm here with a medicine organization idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really wish I would have taken a before picture but just to explain it... I had the bottom container with blue handles and that alone. Clearly all of this didn't fit in the one container so it just sat on top, and all around. <u>A total mess.</u> An inexpensive fix for that was two $1 containers from Walmart. I thought and thought about which containers would work the best so looked around the store and just decided on these for now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I categorized the containers in a way that would be effective and organized. The bottom one (which is slightly bigger than the other two) contains general medicines such as Tylenol, Advil, Cough medicine, Flu medicine, neosporin and such. I feel its important to have a decent supply in the house because the last thing you want to do is drive to the drugstore in the middle of the night when you get a cough or upset stomach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next container has my meds/vitamins and the top one has my boyfriends meds/vitamins. Behind them I have two First Aid Kits. One is a full size and the other is a travel size. The full size one is pretty bulky so unfortunately it didn't fit between the wall and containers so that's why its sitting back there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its important to organize your medicine so you know what you have, and what you need. Well, thanks for stopping by and as always, Heart the Home you live in. Come back for more organizational ideas soon. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">LAUNDRY</span></h2>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this project I got inspired from a pin I saw on Pinterest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before this DIY, my laundry room had absolutely nothing in it (and i mean nothing, washer and dryer only). We live in an apartment and if you've rented you know how hanging things on the walls can be. Well we're not planning on moving for a while so I've decided to add a shelf and a few more pieces to it. As you will see in the bottom picture its very small, but this wreath really adds something to it. Enjoy....</div>

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">For this DIY the materials you will need include:<br /> -Clothes Pins 100 pk<br /> -A wreath... I split mine into 2 (you'll see what I mean)<br /> -Wire Cutters<br /> - Glue gun<br /> -Cloth or fabric of some sort<br /> -Wooden Alphabetical letters (not unless you want to write LAUNDRY on the cloth material)<br /> -Paint if you choose to use the wooden letters<br /> -Paint Brush to paint the letters<br /> -Ribbon<br /> -Flowers<br /> Optional: Tiny Clothes Pins </span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the materials I had to purchase since I owned the rest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hint: Clothespins are $2 for a 100pk at Walmart </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and at the dollar store you get a 36pk for $1. (Walmart wins on this one)</div>

If you've purchased a wire wreath from Hobby Lobby or Walmart you know that there are four layers. In order for the clothes pins to stay on without any glue I decided to get my wire cutters and make two wreaths out of one. Like this....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZ5SHrSC_1pQZTdBkCxhQS21hVSeR0UWp7HgRI_W6Kl_Pa3yRJA2hyphenhyphenJLx9_d3O4NdNVNVCecyBbYxMa43UcX-BBtABFPWWDDTYF5HTWJ5DSqtM4QqgjmzW3cvVaqFKBoKVU2T1r-uQWZg/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZ5SHrSC_1pQZTdBkCxhQS21hVSeR0UWp7HgRI_W6Kl_Pa3yRJA2hyphenhyphenJLx9_d3O4NdNVNVCecyBbYxMa43UcX-BBtABFPWWDDTYF5HTWJ5DSqtM4QqgjmzW3cvVaqFKBoKVU2T1r-uQWZg/s320/photo.JPG" width="285" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once that was done (using some muscle) I could finally start my project and be on my way of making some laundry room decor. I started by putting on the clothes pins. To give it some style I alternated the positioning of the clothespins. To do this I pushed every other clothespin in the deepest it could go while the rest were just pinned on enough to go over the green wreath....this creates a up and down look on the wreath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I painting the letters.. which was a fun part for me, but I did first so while the paint dried I could get my glue gun hot, my cloth cut and ribbon measured. I cut the cloth into triangular squares (but right before I cut, I assembled my letters to make sure they would fit in the cloth). I then glue gunned the letters to the cloth and all the pieces of cloth on a long strip of ribbon which I then glued to the wreath. After that was complete I glued small bows to each end and added the yellow daises for a touch of love. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, I pinned on the tiny clothespins (which are so, so cute) between each letter.</div>
