For Christmas I bought some stars and Santas that were packed in these small and cute plywood boxes. The minute I saw them I knew they were up to a change.
What I did. I chose beautiful fabric and a decorative velvet ribbon.
I measured the little squares and cut the fabric accordingly.
Glued the bottoms with white glue and applied the fabric pieces.

When it was finished drying I added the birdies.
I could think of tons of ways to use these: trinket, jewelry / office supplies holders, fun to keep sewing supplies in; especially cute if you are a miniature fan so you can add some toys here.
Great idea (never throw anything away!) and it looks so lovely now!
ReplyDeleteYes. I never do if it is wood (even plywood :)
DeleteYou made the boxes look so pretty Maya. I love the floral fabrics. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie!
DeleteWonderful!!! It looks so inviting, the stuff in those beautifully embellished boxes! I'm going to keep this idea to make for my own craft space.

Love how you made them perfectly for your contents like the crochets bits and buttons
ReplyDeleteThey are very cute and useful.Well done Maya.
ReplyDeleteThe boxes look lovely repurposed. The arrangement of fabric cut outs makes the box very appealing.
ReplyDeleteThese boxes look much better now. What a great idea! I love the birdies sitting on the edge. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever idea! I'll have to look a little more closely at the packaging of my parcels from now on :)
