DO YOU JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.....

How about a box?    I have to tell you that when I got my Valspar FREE paint sample in the mail...I wasnt expecting this box.   It was filled with goodies but I thought to myself, hey this is a good box.

I like the sort of hinged opening style and with all the crafting and jewelry making and 5 kids, you know I can always use more storage.

So being the self proclaimed repurposing queen that I am (or choose to believe I am).    I grabbed contact paper and starting planning my transformation.

Here is what I used:

Valspar box
Contact paper
Scissors
Pen
Box cutter/Exacto knife

Cmon people can it get anymore easy than that......not rocket science but I sure felt like a genius!

Valspar Free Sample Kit box


After I emptied out all my goodies


My Dollar Tree scissors & fabulous toile blk/white contact paper


I just traced around the box.....cut and stick!


Here is the finished box....I think it's look pretty awesome!


Here are some finished boxes in my office closet.



Excuse the short post today.....but allergies have me not feeling myself!

  3. What a great idea, you are so clever; I would have thrown the box away, not even thinking of it's potential; but it looks so pretty all covered up! :)
