The thicker the paper, the better the results. I typically only wrap boxes in decorative papers if they won't receive a lot of wear and tear. Boxes that receive that extra attention do better when wrapped in fabrics or adhesive drawer liner/contact paper.<br /><br />xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-19332532934265264962015-03-29T20:27:30.243-05:002015-03-29T20:27:30.243-05:00What do you use to attach wrapping paper or other ...What do you use to attach wrapping paper or other decorative paper to boxes?

So far I have re-used empty tins and jars as it is, but having seen you decorating them in your own way, it really does make a difference in the entire storage and organizing concept. The different storage containers can all be customized using the same decorative paper or sheet to complement each other and match your furniture and decor. Then, they can be placed on the cabinets to make up one whole set without looking awkward or out of place. I especially like the baby food jars idea because they are easily available if you have young ones at home, but often get disposed off so easily because sometimes we overlook its alternative purpose as a storage container. Next is the PVC tubes. I have never had the idea that they can be of so much use! However, you have to be really careful when cutting them to the desired lengths. The edges tend to be sharp and thorny so ensure they are carefully smoothened to avoid unnecessary injuries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746232868619950002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-70063006451192740402012-11-15T17:10:19.503-06:002012-11-15T17:10:19.503-06:00I absolutely love your blog!!!

Swish it around to coat the inside and then dump out excess. Bake in a 380 degree oven until the color is clear and there you have it :) Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562405773949574756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-85784318601223550132012-11-13T17:54:34.773-06:002012-11-13T17:54:34.773-06:00Thank You for bringing all these cute and fun orga...Thank You for bringing all these cute and fun organizing tips in one place.
