I am such a hoarder of small boxes. I always store all my random stuff in them like, hair bobbles and grips, lips balms e.c.t. I am also such a homey decor type person, so you'll probably find me mooching around Home Sense or John Lewis.
Anyway, recently in Home Sense there are lots of boxes with writing on like 'Random Stuff' or 'What's in here?' Seeing these inspired me to create my own instead of paying like £8 for one.
What you will need:
- Plain box
- Paint Brushes
- Pencil (and a ruler)
- Paint
Firstly i stencilled out the words that i wanted on my box. TIP - when you do this do it lightly, i found out the hard way and ended up with pencil marks visible.
Once you've stencilled out whatever you want it to say, fill the letters in with whatever colour paint you want. I did two coats of paint to make the white opaque.
When the paint has dried just fill it with your 'Bits and Bobs' I keep mine on my bedside table with Bio Oil, Vasoline and tissue.
Hope you like this quick DIY to vamp up your plain boxes!
See you soon
Jess
