Decorating Your Storage Boxes

 Decorating Your Storage Boxes

I have been trying to think of some creative ways of leaving my storage containers out in the open. And have them as decorative accents for my Craft Room.

Pictured below I decorated envelope boxes and made them apart of my room decor. This gives me a nice decorative storage place for small items. In the bottom box pictured on the right I have my embossing folders stored. The top 2 boxes are envelope storage and the small box to the left is also envelope storage.

Supplies:

Mod Podge
Binderie
Decorative Pattern Paper
Krylon Clear Glaze Spray

Directions:

I altered the lid of the box by cutting the sides of the cover shorter.
I used Mod Podged on the paper to adhere it to the box.
I sealed the paper with Krylon Clear Glaze Spray.
I used my binderie to drill holes in the lids of the boxes to add a bow. 
They are a cute addition to my Craft Room.

Valentine Heart Wreath

I bought this wreath at Walmart.
I decide to add my favorite bear cut to it to decorate it.
It was a really super fast and easy project to make.

Supplies:

Cricut Digital Download - Valentine Sweets - Bear Cut at 4"

3D Valentine Mailbox

 3D Valentine Mailbox

I purchased a couple of digital downloads for Cricut Craft Room 3D Valentine Boxes and Valentine Sweets.I have been wanting to make mailboxes for so long. Every where I looked the tin mailboxes were sold out.  I went ahead and tried the 3D Valentine Boxes from Cricut.com. The bear on Valentine Sweets is just so adorable and I really like the mailbox too.

Supplies:

Cricut Digital Download:

 Love - Cut at 1.972 x 0.972

Close To My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy - for the label behind Valentines mail : Cut at 5.944 x 2.361

Finished Size -  5-1/2" L - 4-1/2" H - Door Opening is 2-1/2" W - 4" H

I made this box with some alterations of the image.

I welded the 2 sides and top of the mailbox together in Cricut Craft Room. Making it one piece. I found it much easier to work with the top of the mailbox by doing it this way.

I cut all the pieces out in chipboard first. Then I cut all the pieces out with pattern paper.

On the pattern paper cuts, I cut off the tabs. Then I adhered the pieces(not the tabs) to the chipboard.

I used terrifically tacky tape to hold it together. I tried other adhesives and terrifically tacky tape worked the best.

I took 2 strips of pattern paper and applied them to the two end seams of the mailbox for a more finished look.
