As a former librarian, I've had a couple of sets of card catalog drawers for years. One set I used for holding craft supplies but the other one was mostly filled with junk. So with the help of my brother-in-law, I hung them on the wall as shelves. I really like using the mason jars to store all my craft goodies. They are contained but easy to see.

I have a good supply of the rods that came out of these drawers and I use them to: hold my gate open while I mow (just stick em in the ground in front of gate), use them as a guide for the hose to protect my plants, and also, they make great plant markers and plant stakes.
