Repurposed Box Tutorial

I don't know about you, but I keep everything to use for art.

For example, this was a soap box. It was one of those wonderfully sturdy and well made boxes. I knew as soon as I felt it... that I wanted to cover it with our artistic paper.

I'm sure that you have a box that would be prefect for this project too!

It is as easy as pie!

For this project, you will need; a box, artists' paper, glue, scissors & an exacto knife and a quote , sticker or artwork.

Take the box and match up a lovely paper to it's size and then cut out.

Glue the paper to the top of the box and cover like a present.

Cut out a piece to fit into the bottom of the box.

Find two nice quotes, stickers, artwork or anything else you might like. Then glue to the top and on the bottom inside the box.

And you’ll learn a few tricks along the way too:
