Re-purposed Shoe Boxes!

Yes I know I’ve already done so many posts on re-purposing but then what to do?? I just can’t get enough of it!! :D:D

So here’s what I did with some shoe boxes that I’d which will help in organising my li’l stuff!! Read on for a super-quick tutorial. 🙂

  • Cardboard box
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive
  • Scrapbooking/wrapping paper
  • Brush

What I did:

Firstly I measured the height and length of the box (Mine was around 7″ each side).

Cut out 3-4 strips of the wrapping/scrapbooking paper according to the size of the box.

I started gluing the paper onto the box. Starting with one side I worked my way so I could cover the whole box leaving the base (outside), which I covered later on. You can always skip the base part since it’s not going to be visible.

I did the same with the lid.

That’s how it looked! I had another smaller box. And I did exactly the same with it and use it for storing baby-pins, bows etc.
