DIY Recipe Box.

January 21, 2011

Super cheap, easy, cute and practical DIY for yourself or as a gift! (mine is for me ;))

Supplies used;

Little wooden box – I got mine from a thrift store, but you can get one at a hobby store for cheap :)

paint

modge podge

sponge/paint brush

paper

stickers (I used my Cricut to cut out what I wanted, if you see one on sale, or if you have a birthday coming up, TOTALLY recommed!)

How to DIY;

-paint it the colour of your choice.

-measure and cut the paper to fit sections BEFORE you modge podge them :)

-add modge podge, one section at a time

-place paper {carefully} on the glue, but start at either top or bottom first and carefully rub it down and push any bubbles, that may or may not appear, out.

-let it dry (20-30 min)

-place one coat on top and let it dry

-(optional) add stickers (or vinyl)

This was seriously so simple! Hope you’re inspired to {create}!

much love, Jami

    super cute! I love it :) I need to make a new one. Such a great idea to make it out of a wooden box. I made mine out of cardboard a few years ago and it didn’t last. LOVE IT! (remind me to get you those recipe cards!)
