With the holidays just gone the amount of stuff lying around my son’s bedroom has multiplied so we are in need of extra storage. Thankfully we have a lot of boxes that can rise to the task so yesterday we began the process of giving them a full make over. We started with this Fila box that my husband’s new trainers came in, which is large enough to hold the new art material my son received for Christmas.

To make it more appealing we covered it entirely with flue fabric, and then we went on to decorate it with a couple of flowers that we made out of yellow and green felt cuttings. We finished the edges with crease paper and attached one of my son’s drawings to the top making it the central focus.

The boring shoebox is now this unrecognizable pretty box ready to store all those arty materials.
