…I am a thrifty stitcher, which is where the inspiration for this came from.

| Sturdy baby bath box about to be repurposed |
This was a box of baby samples. It was a free offer, and comes with an inner tray that makes it perfect as a sewing box.
Now, not being a papercrafter (did I mention that) I used some fairly basic materials to spruce it up a bit
 |
| The paper was scrap from a craft magazine, and the rest of the materials are pretty basic |
I was rather pleased with this ingenious use of fridge magnets and binding clips (actually hairclips):
 |
| I'm sure papercrafters have a slicker way... |
I traced the shape of the label i wanted to cover onto baking paper, and then used magnets and hairclips to "pin" the template to the patterned paper.
Et voila!
 |
| The teal tray comes out too |
And not content to stop there...
This box cost £8
 |
| DearWife was not oncvinced when I brought this home... |
And with the addition of wrapping paper and felt letters makes a jolly, practical storage box for boygoblin’s rapidly expanding stash of art and craft supplies.
(like mother, like son…)
