Boxes, boxes, boxes = Toys, toys toys

Hi All,

Well, I would think my Hubby would have something to say about this post given he works in warehousing. But this isn’t about just any boxes in warehousing, this is to do with re-purposing the boxes from buying countless numbers of baby wipes over the past year plus!

Throughout our home we have utilized many of the cube storage units, and so that each storage gap wouldn’t reveal what is kept in each space some have woven baskets to fill the hole and the objects placed inside. Others have small crates. We like to have a coastal theme for our home so both these materials suit with the theme. As I’ve mentioned before I enjoy re-purposing items and have found a new use with left over boxes. The wipes boxes are a bit smaller than the woven baskets, but still work adequately.

On a side note - the wipes boxes have this handy little cut out which is meant to be used when carrying the box. But if you completely remove it.. it looks a bit like a Lego head shape. When LegoMasters was airing I was hoping to make one of the boxes look like a Lego head. I still haven't yet done this. I was thinking maybe I'll do that when our son is older and understands Lego. (Hopefully he doesn't think the idea is too daft by then! Haha.)

So, with these boxes I have been covering them up with a contact, similar to the ones used for covering kids exercise books for school to give them a bit of personality. Well this is like that as it is sticky on the backside and kept in a roll, but apparently it is actually a type of vinyl, as I purchase it from Kmart here is the link for the one I use. (https://www.kmart.com.au/product/white-woodgrain-adhesive-vinyl/1652812?cm_vc=PDPZ1 ). It is called a 'White Woodgrain'. 

Now that each box has been covered they are kept around in the storage compartments, or any other place I can find. So useful for storing an array of different things. Try it yourself! Don't just toss out the cardboard boxes. 

I had a spare bit of the white woodgrain vinyl leftover and another thing I love to personalize, just as the mentioned books above, that's it, my own journals. This is what it resulted as;

Happy creating and I will see you all again next week!

Bye bye.
