Burlap Covered Boxes

I’m working on organizing and giving my linen closet a makeover.  It was in pretty bad shape.

, Saving 4 Six

I wanted some nice storage containers but didn’t want to pay a lot for them.

, Saving 4 Six

My Better Half was able to get some boxes from work and so I decided to cover them with burlap.  To make the most of my burlap I only covered the outside of the boxes.
Using my rotary cutter I cut strips of the burlap just big enough to fit around the boxes.  I tried spray adhesive and Elmer’s glue to get the burlap to stick on the box…no success.

, Saving 4 Six

So, I pulled out my handy yet painful hot glue gun and it quickly did the trick.

I used some ribbon from all that ribbon I got for $15 and just wrapped it around the boxes and hot glued it to the box.

Cute, huh?!

I still have to make some tags to go on the outside but I didn’t get that far yet!  They are going to look so nice in my updated and organized new linen closet!

Blessings,

    Great idea! Just be sure if you actually put linens in them that you don’t let them come in direct contact with the box (that will cause them to discolor quickly). Archival quality tissue paper or an old sheet/pillowcase/piece of muslin inside the box will protect them. 🙂
