At Redo It Yourself Inspirations, Robin came up with a way to turn cardboard boxes into a useful and beautiful storage option. Looking for something to act as “drawers” in a small shelf she was redoing, Robin was struck by the fact that a few of the cardboard boxes she had lying around were the perfect size.
Who wants to display ratty old boxes on their freshly painted shelves, though? Not Robin! She cut off the flaps of the boxes, and hid their homely status by decoupaging them with torn paper bags. Once dried, this gave them a look very similar to aged leather. To continue the transformation, Robin cut up an old leather belt and used it to make pretty handles for her new “drawers”. What a cheap and easy way to turn cardboard boxes into useful storage!
