How to Make An Easy & Cool Organizer (that looks like art)

  I love, love, love, finding new organizational thingamajiggies at flea markets or second hand stores. Last month, I found myself overwhelmed by all of the little art supply goodies, and the time it takes to find them. So, I created this fun and very cool organizer that was fun to make and is also quite handy...
My studio space is very limited and doubles as an office, so having everything organized is essential.
As you can see, there are so many options for this kind of thing. You could use it in your bathroom, your living space as art, or just about anywhere you need to throw some creative organizing/art!
  Due to the glare of the clear tops, on the storage containers, getting my camera to photograph it was a bit of a challenge. :)

  So... Here is your supply list:
1 old (or new, but I prefer the found goods) stereo, game console, or other metal box.
1-2 sets of small storage containers (I found these at Hobby Lobby, it was $9.99 regular price, $5.99 with their weekly coupon, for a 12 pc. set).
1 magnet for each container (use the round heavy magnets, they're strong enough for anything you put in the containers).
Hot Glue or Super Glue
Triple Thick Clear Spray or other clear coating (optional)
Screws and wall anchors for mounting (optional).

First, clean your metal box and dry it. I used an old game console box, which has nifty holes and metal tabs that make it interesting.
Spray a nice even coat of the Triple Thick on any sides you wish, but definitely the back of the box; so that your wall is protected from any metal or rust residue.

Next, take the storage containers out and lay them top down. Gluing them can be a bit tedious, and you'll want to be quick, especially if using a hot glue gun.
Hot Glue Directions: Glue one magnet, centered, on the bottom of each container. I found that if you press the magnet firmly into a nice fat nickel sized bead, until it cools, they stay nicely.
If you mess up, no worries, the glue can be peeled off. If you pressed firmly, it will just take a touch of 'oomph'.
Super Glue Directions: Apply a swirly, about the size of your magnet, adhere the magnet and press for about a minute. Careful! We don't need you walking around with magnets stuck to your fingers, lol. Once you're sure that the glue is steadfast, allow to dry for about 1/2-1 hour.

Mount the box to the wall.
Once all your little containers are filled (or not) with stuff, have fun creating interesting forms by attaching them to the box! You can also use the top & bottom of the box as a shelf, handy dandy.
They are so fun to make, easy, and even the empty ones look like they belong.
If you like metal, steampunk, tech stuff, abstract or installation art, you'll dig this project.
I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and your new storage art!
