If you've got kids in diapers, you've got access to a great storage tool that you probably didn't even know about! I kept using the boxes for boring storage until I figured out a way to dress them up--you'd never guess what's underneath!
Start with a large diaper box and cut off the flaps so you have just the sides and bottom left.
Then use spray adhesive to attach drop cloth canvas to the outside of the box, and fold some down into the box as well to get a nice covered edge.
Make it pretty by using craft paint and a stencil--or just make stripes by laying down painters tape and painting between.
I made chalkboard labels so I could customize each box, and change them if I needed also.
So much better than a plain box, right? Will you be making these storage boxes? Do you have any tips to make them better?
Enjoyed the project?

Wallpaper found for next to nothing at thrift stores c!an work well for this also. Check thrift stores for that and all sorts of fabrics in the form of drapes, bedspreads, table cloths, shower curtains, throws. Something for any theme under the sun will show up soone!r or later.
