HOW TO MAKE A GLAMOROUS RECYCLED PAPER CHEST OF DRAWERS

 

Inside: how to make a glamorous recycled paper chest of drawers

 

Everyone has a collection. Some like to collect stamps, others have stamps collection or even movie memorabilia. I love boxes. I have many of them, even though I don't have many things to put in them. During the years I bought a few, but I also really love making them. It always amazes me how little you need to build a box and how easy it is.

 

 

 

BUILDING A PAPER BOX

 

Building a paper box is a simple process that usually requires folding and gluing You can make a box in any shape and although it will not hold very heavy items it can be useful and not just decorative.

 

WHAT TO PUT INSIDE A PAPER BOX

 

As long as the items are dry and relatively small you can put almost anything inside a paper box.

Here are some ideas:

  • Beads
  • Small toys
  • Jewelry
  • Hair items
  • Office supplies
  • A gift
  • Make-up items
  • Craft supplies
  • Tickets and small items you want to keep

 

 

ALTERING USED BOXES

 

Making boxes from scratch is fun but you can also alter boxes you don't use anymore.

  • Paint the box or cover it with paper to give ot a new color or style.
  • Change the structure of the box by removing parts like the lid or one of the walls. For example: use the box as a cover for a mini album, like I did on this video.
  • Use a few boxes to create a wall hanging or a dresser made from boxes.

 

BUILDING A RECYCLED PAPER CHEST OF DRAWERS

 

Another way to build a DIY box is to use paper with recycled objects or materilas. You can use objects like empty serial boxes, old jewelry boxes, coasters and even cd's.

Making a recycled paper chest of drawers made with two cd's is a little more challenging but if you follow this step by step video tutorial you can easily make it.
