If you like crafting like me, you definitely will have
storage issues. ‘Where are my craft papers, where are my stickers, who used my
glue stick?’ are questions that I ask perennially. And storing craft paper,
stamps, and stickers in plastic boxes?. Blah. So when I chanced upon a pretty
looking chocolate box, I immediately knew that this could be used as craft
storage.
Just a little tweaking and the box would be prettier than
the original. *roams around the house with the box so that all chocolates are
eaten*. :P
Materials needed
- One thick craft paper (I happened to have a bright blue one)
- Some handmade washi tape (Remember the ones I made earlier.http://aimlesssunny.blogspot.in/2014/11/hand-made-washi-tapes.html )
- Some origami flowers. (I will post a tutorial for the same soon)
- An old chocolate box
Method
- Take the lid of the box and apply a generous amount of glue at the top.
- Now align the craft paper on it and let it dry.
- Cut of the excess paper from the lid. Don't worry about any jagged edges. You can rectify this using some washi tape. You can repeat the same process in other areas of the box that have been stained by chocolates.
- Use the washi tape to make a border on the lid.
- Lastly, place some flower embellishments on it however you want. I stuck three origami flowers at the top of the box.
And done. Isn’t
that pretty?
I use it to store some of my sticker stacks. (Yes, I may
have a sticker obsession.).
