Turn any small cardboard box into a beautiful Celtic style container with nothing more than a knife, hot glue gun and some paint. It's incredibly easy! Great for organizing anything. (More detailed photos/instructions at the link at the bottom.)

I used a small square shipping box.
Measure and cut as desired.
Spray the inside silver.
Paint the outside black.
Using a glue gun make spirals around the box. (More specifics about this on my site but its not difficult.)
Brush a light coat of silver over your box.
Quickly rub with a tissue or paper towel. VIEW MORE PHOTOS AND DETAILS BELOW!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How did you treat the edges where you can see the corrigation? Did you just run a bead of the glue on it?
It's difficult for me to reach items on the bottom shelf of my bookcases. I've been thinking of using boxes that I can just pull out. Do you think I could attach some VERY small wheels or rollers if I start with a really sturdy box?
