I wanted to start posting some of my craft projects that seem out of the blue. So the first one I used the cardboard drink boxes that you get when you purchase beer or other glass bottled beverages.
Step 1: Cover all the sides of the box with your selected paper. I made sure to overlap the edges on the small sides so that I didn't have corners exposed. For the handle just measure and cut out a little larger than the shape and fold edges over for the same purpose.
Step 2: Cover a single piece of heavy cardstock or photo mat with coordinating paper. I buy this stuff at my local DI. Old pictures used by the LDS church often are sold there and are the perfect thickness for reinforcing my projects.
Step 3: Embellish! Add tags and ribbon to at least one side of the piece to give it some pizazz and glam. If you use really interesting paper though, try not to overdo your embellishing.
And ta da! You have a cute and functional Easter Carry box for whatever you want it for.
