I feel like my craft corner keeps on growing and growing and since I live in a tiny studio apartment I need to keep things organized. Instead of just using a shoe box to store my things I decided I would employ some crafting skills on the craft storage boxes themselves. This is a super cheap, easy and fun craft that will keep you organized.

Materials

Shoe box or any kind of box (the smaller one I used is a cookie tin)
Magazine clippings
Modge Podge
Paint brush
Paint (optional)

Directions

1. Make sure that box is clean and has all the tags off of it. Use magazine cut outs of various things, words, people, ect. Glue onto box and make sure that you smooth down each one (I sometimes use a piece of cardstock to run across the magazine clippings so that there are no bubbles but it lies flat.)
2. After your magazine cut outs are glued down cover with 2 coats of modge podge, make sure that you brush in the same direction or else it will look all messy.
3. If you don’t want to modge podge the whole box then you can just do the lid and paint the bottom on the box like I did here:
