A few weeks ago we shared Zoey’s ombre-painted dresser and a few of you noticed the floral box displayed on top of it. So here I am to continue with Catch-up this week and show you what went down. I caught a glimpse of Centsational Girl’s paper box makeover and just had to try my hand at it, but this time with fabric! I used some leftover fabric from Zoey’s pillow cases that I had on hand.
Such a quick, inexpensive update to a once bland and boring box! Make sure you chose a box with a lid that doesn’t fit too snug, otherwise the fabric will make it difficult to open and close. I also added some washi-tape around the interior, where the fabric ends are a bit frayed. Should have included a picture of that! It’s basically just to make things look a little cleaner and keep Zoey from picking at the frays. And in case anyone is wondering, I used Mod Podge for all of the gluing. I love the idea of doing this to unused boxes you already have on hand, but if not you can pick a cardboard one up for a couple bucks at Michaels like us! Can’t wait to do more of these

Love the fabric! I used a leftover burlap coffee bean sack and covered some diaper boxes for my entry way to hide shoes and winter accessories and I get so many compliments on them! No one has any idea that it was a cheap, easy, DIY project! I love the idea of adding cute storage for kids rooms, and modge podge would be super durable. Nice choice.
You have the best easy, but super informative, tips/tutorials. I really appreciate it. I just love your style.
BTW – I had emailed you a couple weeks ago about the “Nate Berkus” being imprinted on the front of my ram’s head ….. after I read your reply (thank you), I realized I had my ram’s head upside down! Doh!
Shoe boxes would probably work really well for this. Most lids are loose. Might have to try it this weekend. Thanks for the how to.
