I bought this box three years ago on Portobello Road in London, for close to $20. I was walking by it the other day when I thought: you know what? This box really isn't great.
The inside was dull orange paper, and there was a brass crest with bits of brass peeling off!
So, I rushed to my closet, and pulled out some pretty, inexpensive papers I'd bought last year at an art shop in Toronto. I originally was going to use these papers to wrap things, but they don't hold tape very well. These are only four styles, but I have about a million.
I settled on this happy paper, with blue, purple, and green circles.
I used a paper cutter, ruler, and glue stick...
To transform this box into:
Nothing like a pretty place to keep random odds and ends. I also spray-painted the crest black, and dabbed the paint off so that some gold shines through.
