This week in our parent packets from school, we were informed that the Kindergarten kids would need to decorate a box that they can store all the little paper booklets they create and decorate throughout the year. It was suggested to use a shoebox or even a little plastic tote, but alas, I just threw out our last shoebox out on Monday, oops. Luckily, I had a premade box sitting on my floor so I grabbed it, tape runner, cardstock, and letter die cuts. I added some ribbon to the box flaps prior to covering them using 1/8" sticky tape so that they will last the usage. I also reinforced the corners and bottom seams with packing tape so they won't tear off too quickly with being taken in/out of their storage spots. I had an old package of die cut letters lying around, so I used those to label the box just for my son. He knows how to spell his name, so he'll be able to find his box quickly.I enjoy crafting. I'm still fairly new to it, but I thought I would start this blog to share with you the projects I create. Have fun!
