We didn’t mount the board to the wall because that would defeat the point of not putting holes in the wall. Plus there is an outlet right there and with the board leaning on the wall it’s still accessible. I think this Magazine Rack Board is a great way to personalize a space without actually hanging something on a wall – perfect for apartments, etc. The corner now:
Now, on to the labels – can I tell you I just fell in love with my Silhouette Cameo all over again – – I had never used the “Print and Cut” feature until now. It’s amazing! Where has it been all my life? First you print your design (be sure to turn on registration marks) – – –
Then the Cameo uses a magic laser eye and reads those marks and knows just where to cut – wow! Be sure to mark the words, inside lines, etc, as “no cut” so it’ll just cut the outside. Then peel up the foil sticker:
I wanted to mount the stickers to chipboard, but didn’t have any so I settled for a cereal box – almost the same thing. Then just cut around it – –
Finally I punched holes and used bakers twine to tie it to the baskets – – perfect!
Remember, there’s the Silhouette deal (use the code SUGARBEE to apply the discount) that runs through Sunday. If you’re still saving for a Cameo, you can still use the printable foil in your regular printer and just cut out your shapes with scissors. The printable foil packs sold out last time they were released, so grab them now!

May I pin that first picture on my Pinterest board (DIY and Organizational Ideas)? If not, I totally understand.

Ugh! I just noticed the pin it button within the post! Never mind my first comment.

Want, want, want a silhouette 🙂
I love how the wall basket/magazine rack turned out.

When I first say it at the top I thought ‘ugly’ and ‘what?’. But…when I saw it finished I thought genius! Of course Trevor’s idea not to hang it was brilliant. (I am a Trevor follower you know)

Clicked over to get the deal, but says it’s not available? Shouldn’t it be good until the 30th?
