Boxes to Book-holders

Quite a while ago, I found some diapers on sale (and had a coupon, of course ;) & they came in cool boxes!!  I just new that some day, I'd get around to using them!!  Well, about a year later. . . I finally did!!  :)  This is what I came up with!!  - - Totally not super original, but this is my spin on book-holders!!  :)

Before:

After:

Super simple!!  Painted the insides & spines of the boxes - Mod Podged scrapbook paper on sides & front - added a glitter Mod Podge coat all around!!  :)  After I finished the 3 diaper boxes, I made another one out of a (large) cereal box!!!  Perfect for magazines!!  :)

Cut off top & 1/2 of one side.

Painted, papered & Mod Podged!!  :)

Simple Easter Wreath

 Well, I managed to complete at least ONE Easter project before Easter!!  ;)  I really wanted a wreath for my door, but didn't want to spend a ton on a wreath form, when I knew I could make my own!!  :) 
So, I looked around & found a nice box just sitting there, waiting to be used!!  :)  I used a large lid (from a salad bowl), traced it, then traced a smaller lid in the center. Then, using kitchen scissors, I cut out my wreath.

 I had some fabric in nice Easter colors in my stash! (They are much brighter than they appear!!) 

 I cut (well,tore) about 25 strips in each color - about 1" wide by 12" long.

Then, just tied the strips all over the wreath, following an ABC pattern!!

Lastly, I used fishing line to tie plastic eggs to the wreath!  Since the eggs already had holes in the tops & bottoms - this was easy!! ;)





Super simple & I think it turned out pretty cute!!  ;)
