Easy and Fun Craft Box

Here is an easy and fun way to recycle boxes that you get from every day purchases. I used a box that came with assorted ice cream for this project.


You will need a box that will fit contents of some use to you.


Construction paper  to glue over the pictures. You could even use acrylic paint if you have some.


I decorated my box with chalk and stickers. My suggestion is to use anything that you have sitting around. The fun part is picking out the accessories!


Everything I used was found around the house and it only took about 20 mins including glue dry time! My daughters love it!

Turn a Shoebox into a Hair Accessory Holder!

Do you have a house full of girls and hair ties, headbands, hair clips, and, barrettes? Do you have trouble finding your hair style accessories early in the morning on workdays? If so, you need to read on to find a couple of ideas that will make your mornings fly with ease and organization!

I took a shoe box and covered it in stickers:

I also customized mine with my girls' initials with some more stickers, glitter glue and cut out hearts. You could paint the box your favorite color, or add stripes or patterns also. I kept the box lid to store on the bottom for easy transportation in the event of a weekend trip or for stacking.

Inside, I have put two small baskets in the box for separation purposes. You can use one for rubber bands and the other for clips and barrettes.

 

The molded headbands, brushes, and combs can easily fit into the free space that is left inside of the box.

Here is another idea for rubber bands and clips. I used a paper towel holder that was given to me, so this was a freebie! Small containers and paper towel holders work well for storing all of those hair supplies. If you have any other ideas for hair organization, please contact me via email!
