DIY Birchbox Box Storage
/I am a huge subscription box fan. I love getting a wonderful box or bag full of goodies on my door step each month. Birchbox is one of my favorite subscription services. Once I have sorted through the goodies, I am always inspired by the left over box. Over the past several months I have had the boxes just piling up because I cannot for the life of me just throw away a perfectly good box.
So I have decorated them and glammed them up to us in my craft room. Here is how!:
What I used: White Gesso (you could also just use a white paint.); Lace Ribbon; Glitter, Glitter & More Glitter!; Mod Podge (or your favorite glue.); Paint!; Scissors; Paint Brush & Double Sided Tape (pictured but not labelled.
So first, it makes things look nicer if you coat each box with a coat of gesso or white paint. I used gesso.
Next I gave each box a coat of paint. I let this dry completely & then painted in a second coat. If you are going to cover the box in glitter or the lace one coat would probably be enough.
For this box I wanted to cover the lid with the lace ribbon. I used the double stick tape to stick the lace down & then I brushed on some Mod Podge & let that dry.
I wanted one of the boxes to have just a stripe of lace. I used a strip of the double sided tape & then Mod Podged over the whole lid to give it a finished look.
This one is my FAVORITE!!! I painted the box & lid a pale pink. Then I brushed on a layer of Mod Podge and sprinkled on some cheap glitter (1) that I had laying around that I wasn't even really crazy about. After shaking off the extras (2) I immediately sponged on some more Mod Podge (3). I did this is dabbing motions so that I didn't move around any of the first layer of glitter. Then I sprinkled more glitter on top (4) and I let those two coats dry.
I repeated that process on the sides & then I gave the whole thing one more protective coat of Mod Podge. At first I was super unimpressed but once the glue dried it looked sooooooo good!
I let boxes dry completely, attached some labels & filled them up with things!
They turned out so pretty. I love them!

Hello everyone! I am excited to share what I made last weekend with you all! I really wanted to do something with the fruit of the Spirit. I don't know if you guys have googled fruit of the spirit crafts or fruit of the Spirit art but I was less than impressed with the selection of mature & stylish projects.
A couple weeks ago I made a Dori notebook out of painted canvas and that is how the idea for this project was born. Today I want to share with you guys how I made these canvas banners. With summer approaching this would be a great fruit of the spirit craft for teens at vacation bible school or church camp. You could also sub out the fruits of the Spirit for other scripture lists like the beatitudes or like the things we are told to think on in Philippians 4:8 which is what I did with my second banner.
