Lovely DIY storage boxes

Tools needed:

Empty diaper boxes

White acrylic paint

Paint brush

Pretty scrapbooking paper or fabric ( I used the paper for this one)

Embellishment/craft glue/glue stick.

Scissors

Pen or pencil

Started by painting three sides white to keep the look streamline

and to hide the ugly green and purple of the boxes! :)

This was the lovely color combo choice for me! i fell in love

with this top print the moment i saw it and went from

there when choosing the rest of the paper!

folded over the edges aligned with the front of box.

traced the hole from inside the box and made cuts in

it so that i could fold it in and give it a clean look.

Used the glue stick to attach the pretty paper to the front of the box, then glued down the inch or so of the edges over on the sides and top.

So this is what the finished product is supposed to look like! i added a square of paper behind the hole to cover up the yucky cardboard and made a lovely label!

Still need to finish covering up the cardboard on these boxes and attaching the labels, but i'm waiting until i find some pretty ribbon, i decided i wanted ribbon! lol! :) something PINK!

BTW- this is my pantry- working on getting it organized this week! Will post a final pic soon! And also this is my first attempt at a "tutorial" not really gonna call it that since it was very brief... and i hope u get the idea.... :) so what do u think?

BTW here is a site that i came across for a little different technique for making your own pretty pretty storage boxes! i believe she used fabric and mod podge in her project- its super cute and you can find insturctions for that: here.
