I know, two posts today!! Well, it is a weekend, right? No work responsibilities so I craft therefore I am happy!
Ever wonder what to do with those Valentine's heart boxes? Well, two of my girls at school, bought me a little box of chocolates for Valentine's day. I looked at it and saw something that could be remade! Into this:
Step One: Use a craft knife to cut out the interior.
Step Two: Choose your paper. Or fabric would be great too! I chose a nice circus scrapbook paper I bought for 19 cents on sale at Michaels.
Step Three: Press the paper to the top of the lid, flip it over and cut it out (paper facing down). When you flip it upright it will look like this:
Step Four: Now trace the size of the inside, to make a liner. I did this by flipping the base upside down on the back of the paper, and tracing the smaller inside ring.
Step Five: Cut it out with scissors and paint it with glue. Press it inside the box.
Step Six: Now trace the outside of the base.
Step Seven: Cut the base tracing out and paint the base with glue. Press the paper on.
Step Eight: I added some Glossy Accents to the edges of the ears, the tutu, and the stool.
VOILA! Cute upcycled storage box...My specialty:)

You make it look so easy!
ReplyDeleteDuh Lauren, it is so easy! You know I would teach you how to make anything! Good luck at playlets tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I think we still have a couple laying around here. I think my girls would love to help me make this. They would make great little jewelry holders :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Trisha! I'm constantly gathering things and envisioning them as something else...this was a case of it was sitting in my classroom and I was cleaning, and saw it as a new container for something!
