In every house, in every apartment there are a huge number of little things that simply have nowhere to put. They are constantly lost or, on the contrary, come under the arm, especially when they are not necessary, and over time they become a true headache. But you can find a way out, for example, use cardboard boxes to store small things, which are also in every house.

Any cardboard boxes are suitable, from under shoes, small home appliances, they can be of various sizes and shapes. Decorated boxes will look very fashionable – covered with fabric or pasted over with colored paper, the remains of wallpaper. But more on that later.

First you need to sort small objects by type – old photos, magazine clippings, CDs, toiletries – all this cannot be stored together. Shoe boxes will work for small gizmos and papers, if you have preserved voluminous boxes from under the equipment – great, they are useful for storing seasonal clothes or Christmas tree decorations.

To make the boxes look more attractive, fit into the interior, and you didn’t have to hide them in the far corner, spend a little time, remember the needlework skills and you will have stylish interior items in an hour or two. Select the fabric based on your preferences, but if there are several options, it is better that the fabrics are in harmony with each other.

Rectangular shoe box Fabric Cloth PVA glue Tassel Scissors

Manufacture

Mix PVA glue with a small amount of water in a bowl so that the consistency of the mixture resembles a thick cream. Cut a piece of cloth for the cover. It should be of such a size that it covers the surface of the lid and the sides + allowance so that the edges can be tucked. If you have a lid measuring 20×30 cm, then you need to cut a piece of fabric measuring 26×36 cm. Apply glue to the surface of the cover and attach it to the wrong side of the fabric. Smooth the fabric well to prevent wrinkles. Glue the sides of the cover with glue and start wrapping the fabric on the short side. To make the fabric more even, cut it in the corners.
