One of my goals for this month was to decorate some boxes to hold my extra greeting cards and my paper scraps. For some reason, I kept putting off my projects this month, and this one was really easy, so I'm not sure why I took so long to get around to it. First, I grabbed an old mailing box and cut off the top flaps. Then I measured (!) and cut pieces to fit the four sides with a bit of overlap. I mod podged those onto the box and let it dry.
Meanwhile, I cut some coordinating purple cardstock dividers to separate my categories. For my cards, I have birthdays, weddings/anniversaries, baby, thank you, and other.
While I had my mod podge out, I also did a second container. This bin came with my House Party kit when I threw the Pull-ups Party last month. I had some cool square paper that I cut into pieces, and did an argyle pattern around the bin.
I love all the colors! Jonah had fun helping hand me the squares too, so yay for bonus time working on colors with him!
I still have to make some cardstock dividers for this one, but once I do, I'll put my paper scraps in here, which will be much better than the binder clips I've been using to hold stacks together. Maybe then I can finally get to using some of them to make some more cards and other projects...
