How to Repurpose Oats Container

I have used oats containers to store a lot of things but the problem is when I want one item, I have to dump the whole container to look for that one item. So, I decided to repurpose the oats container into a container with containers inside(you get it, right? ;)) so that it is easy to organize and sort things inside. Let's see how.
Time: 2 Days Cost: $0 Difficulty: Medium

Cover the container with card stock of your choice with double sided tape and decorate it with washi tape, if desired. If you want to overlap the container at the edge a little bit, leave an inch of card stock and fold it over to secure.
