Do you still have Christmas gifts you need to give to the babysitter, teacher or for a gift exchange? These are super easy and REALLY cute diy recipe boxes. I had a $5 gift exchange at church this weekend and made one of these. It was so cute I made another, and am going to indulge myself and make one for my kitchen.
I found these little recipe boxes for $1 at Michael's. They weren't the cutest things ever!
After seperating the lid from the box I took a piece of scrap paper and set the box on top. I then used an Exacto knife to cut a 45 degree line from each corner.
Using Mod Podge I secured the bottom and long sides.
The excess was trimmed and secured to the shorter sides, and then the ends cut straight and secured up as well.
Using a stencil and some sticker letters cute little labels were made.
...and voila you have a cute, inexpensive recipe box!
That is darling. I have seen those and never saw the possibilities. Super cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! When people pass things by in the store, I always remind them they just have to have good bones and we can fix the appearance of them later (: You did a really great job. Love the paper you chose!
