I love re-purposing items and especially if I can make them look prettier.
I really like DCWV Scrapbooking supplies, they make my life so much easier, there isn't a page that goes by that I don't use at least one of their products. Especially their adhesive backed matstacks, I always, always have to put a mat behind my photos, it is like an obsession and the adhesive part helps in making it adhere so much easier, and no measuring because it is already at a perfect 6.5"x4.5" to go behind my 6"x4" photos.
SO on to the project, check out this cute transformation.
Supplies used:
DCWV Holiday Collection Adhesive Cardstock Matstack
DCWV Nana's Kids with Glitter Cardstock
DCWV Children Clear Stickers-"Quote Sticker Stack" black and white
(like using Vellum with out having to figure out how to attach the quote)
Mini box of Cereal
Ladybug button from Button Mad
A rhinestone that fell off of my daughter's clothes
EK Success Ladybug Stickers (my mom sent them for my little ladybaby daughter :)
Ribbon (picked mine up at Michael's dollar bin)
Scissors and your choice of adhesive
First I covered the box with Adhesive backed Cardstock, starting from the bottom of the box and then up the side(back of the box), for the front I covered the front and the lid of the box, tucking in the edges at top and folding over the sides. The cardstock did not cover all of the side so I added a cute ribbon down one side and around the bottom to the other side, tucking the ends inside of the box.
Next I added a sticker that I found in my DCWV quote sticker stack, love all of the quotes in the pack, and a couple of ladybugs from EK.
For the front of the box, I cut out a glitter cardstock frame from DCWV's Nana's Kids 8x8 cardstock (sent to me from my Aunt Jeanie).
I added 2 ladybugs that I purchased from Incomparable Buttons (Button Mad) that I had leftover from making my ladybug clock. And a little tiny rhinestone that fell off of my daughter's pants, probably not archival safe but it's not going into a scrapbook page so I thought it would be okay. No need to add glitter it is already on the cardstock.
Ta-dah a cute addition to my kids room, for their future desk.
DCWV even has adhesive cardstock in 12"x 24", so you could do large cereal boxes with it too, I just want to let you know that you shouldn't score the cardstock, because it has a white base and this will show through, but even though the cardstock is very thick, it bends really easily making the edges smooth.
