Storage Boxes

 Who couldn’t use some extra storage for there craft supplies? And if you are like I am, then storage space is limited. Closets are small and already full of clothes. Cabinets are limited and already in use. So I come to the conclusion that what ever storage containers I got, they needed to look good because they would be out in the open. I decided to Use what I had.  
Boxes

Material
Boxes
Glue
Fabric or paper
Whatever accessories, ribbons, and what-knots fabric covered boxes
I laid the box down and roughly measured the fabric or paper. Make sure  to leave yourself extra to fold under for a clean edge. Cut, then wrapped  the box like you would a present. Doing one side at a time or a small area at a time, I used glue to hold it down as I went. Finally, I folded the edges under and glued it down. I then used what ever I had to embellish the boxes.

Hi All:

I’m looking for satin or velvet covered boxes. I dont’ want to make them, rather buy them and then ‘do my thing’ with them.

Anyone know of a supplier?
