Upcycled Shoe Box into a Basket!!

I always loved upcycling / recycling waste boxes. But didnt get to do them much.

Oneday, when I was just browsing through Pinterest,I found this link of upcycling a shoe box. I saved it to my system and totally forgot abt it. Recently, when i was just organizing my system files, i came thro this again.As soon as I saw this I wanted to try. Here is the link pic for ur reference.


But I had a different shoe box which didnt have the extra layer inside so that it becomes a compartment.  I attached an extra sheet to it with tape and secured them.

Here are the pics







The insides of the box - I painted them with Acrylic colors.

I used a packaging paper of a wall sticker in pista green to cover two sides of the box and a striped pattern paper for the other two sides.

After sticking all those there were small gaps where the two compartments met.I used Washi tapes to cover them.

I wanted to keep it in my craft space so I used sticker based embellishments.

The box was ready and then I realized that it occupies more space in the table. So I just punched holes, fastened a golden twine to it and hung it in the wall. Now it stays in my craft space holding my small tools and small paper scraps in seperate compartments.

Entering this into the following challenges:

1. Natalieandamy challenges - Trash to Treasure  (Shoe Box into Basket)
2. Lessology challenge - Packaging central (Used a Shoe Packaged box and a Packing paper with a wall decor)
3. colorconceptionschallenges -Trash to Treasure Using Washi Tapes
4. berry71bleu challenge -Anything goes
5. challenges4everybody - Anything goes

Hope you all liked it.

Hugs
