A a great thrifty storage solution is to make your own DIY storage boxes. Decorative boxes are wonderful accessories in any space, whether displayed on a bookshelf or corralling office supplies and photos. Not only are they functional, they are a perfect way to add extra color and pattern to a room. Decorative boxes can be very expensive, but you can create your own thrifty storage box for a fraction of the cost. Simply save shoe boxes or any other old boxes you come across that are in good shape. You can also buy unfinished decoupage boxes at any craft store for a reasonable price.
DIY Storage Box Instructions
Bookshelf With Storage
Materials Needed: box, decorative paper, double stick tape, double-fold bias tape, fabric glue, scissors, paper cutter
1. Measure each side of the box and cut your paper to size with a paper cutter.
2. Attach the paper to each side using double stick tape. You can use glue, but the tape works great and is less messy.
The edges will look unfinished because it is difficult to cut the paper perfectly. The double fold bias tape will cover all the edges and give you a clean and finished look. You can find bias tape at any fabric store and there are tons of color choices. Double fold works best for the box edges because it is already creased. It goes on much easier than the single fold.
3. Measure each edge length and cut the bias tape to size.
4. Place a thin coat of fabric glue along the edge of the box and then press the bias tape into place.
These DIY storage boxes are the perfect thrifty storage solution for anyone on a budget. They are very easy to make and can be personalized to fit your own unique style and personality.
