Wonderland Makeover

I repurposed this little box quite a while back but never got around to showing it so I thought I'd share with you today.

I love storage, organizing, and containers so you'd think I'd be really organized. Not. ;o)

This little box goes with me when I set up at shows and sits out in my studio with samples, stamp sets, or embellishments, whatever I'm showcasing at the time.

It started as a halloween box that I picked up at Hobby Lobby when they mark everything down 75% off. I think I paid about $1.50 for it. Steal!!

I removed the ribbon and of course put it with my stash to reuse. Then I sanded it down just enough to get the slick finish off the outsides. I left the inside alone.

Then I traced the sides onto my paper. This is the retired Wonderland B&T from Close to my Heart. Love it!

I used modge podge to adhere the paper to the box. You can put it over the top when it's dry to give added durability to the finish if you like. I found some brown ribbon and thread it through the holes and tied a bow.

How easy was that? Very! It didn't take long at all and I got a fabulous everyday box I can use year round for so many different things. I hope you enjoyed and be sure to check out the after season sales for items that can be repurposed.
