From A Diaper Box to a Cute Storage Box...

I had gotten a great idea off of Pinterest.  How to make a box of diapers into a cute storage bin!  Loved it!!!  I have a son that is 3 and my daughter is turning 1.... in 2 weeks!!!  Needless to say I have a neverending supply of diaper boxes.

Here is the Before picture....
 
Here is the After picture...
 

 


Isn't that such a cute idea...  And really simple to do, however when you have a 3 year old son with Autism and a 1 year old little girl it seems that the simpelest projects take FOREVER!!!  LOL, I wouldn't change a thing!
First, Cut off the flaps of the box. Then, I purchased some canvas at JoAnnes and measured each side of the box and added 1/2" and then I used Fabric Modge Podge!! Love it!!!.
Let it dry ovenight.
Take your measurments of each side of the box and add 1/4".  To the height add 6" so you can fold it over.  Sew Away!!!  Fold the hem over on the height about an inch and sew around to get a finished edge.
Good Luck!!

  1. Awesome idea. I think this is better and far more cheaper than to buy those plastic storage boxes for the same purpose. Thanks for sharing. ^_^
