Easy Do It Yourself storage boxes project. Learn how to upcycle or recycle cardboard boxes and turn them into pretty and useful storage boxes. DIY Storage Box – Make Pretty, Useful, and Decorative Recycled Storage BoxesHow much do you enjoy recycling? I’m always looking for ways to recycle and upcycle available materials. This time I used small cardboard boxes for this easy yet exciting DIY storage box project. I recycled 3 boxes in one day and all of them are super useful. Keeping my stationaries in one, skincare products in one, and one I’m using as a craft storage box. You can find both written instructions with pictures (step-by-step tutorial) and video tutorials on our YouTube channel. Go ahead and check them out! These recycled storage boxes are not just useful but also great as home decor. We hope you enjoy crafting them as much as we did. How to Make Storage Box Out of CardboardList of Supplies
InstructionsStep 1: Preparing and covering the boxYou can either cut off the flaps or simply fold them inside, laying flat with the 4 sides of the cardboard box. Select and cut out a piece of fabric big enough to cover halfway through the outer sides and the 4 inner sides of the box. Step 2: Finishing the coverApply hot glue to secure the cover fabric with the box. The fabric on the inside should touch the bottom side of the box. Covering the entire outer side of the box won’t be necessary for this craft. Step 3: Cutting the bottom fabricMeasure and cut out a piece of fabric an inch bigger on all sides than the bottom side of the box. Step 4: Preparing the bottom fabricFold in the extra 1 inch on all 4 sides and apply hot glue to secure them. Step 5: Covering the bottom side of the boxApply hot glue along 4 sides of the bottom part (inside the box) and then place the prepared fabric from the previous step carefully on the glued side. The inner side of the box is now nicely covered. Step 6: Wrapping with jute ropeNow simply cover the outer side of the box with jute rope. Apply hot glue while wrapping the rope around the box. Step 7: Complete the jute wrappingYou can cover the entire outer surface of the box or you can keep an inch intact. I think keeping an inch intact (shows the fabric) looks nice. Step 8: Attach the border and handlesAlthough this step is optional, you can still go for it if you have the natural white rope. And done! It wasn’t that fun! So, get your crafty hands ready and get started with the DIY storage box project. You can add your touch if you want. Just in case you’re having difficulty with the previous steps you can also check out the video tutorial on our YouTube channel The storage box from our video tutorial is slightly different from the storage box we’re crafting here.
