I believe I got the idea for this from Dejavu Crafts but I'm not sure.. Anyways, all you'll need is cardboard boxes {various sizes} from the dollar store, glue, paint & paint brushes.
The first thing I did was glue the lids to the boxes. I used a hot glue gun.
Then I painted the boxes. You can paint them any color and any way possible :) Then I decorated each side a different way.. Let dry and they're ready for playtime! :) My daughter loved them and they were fun for mommy to make :)
What a cute idea! It came out really well. I never thought of doing this but it is so thrifty and fun! :) I am your newest follower. Have a great day. Humble Homemaking
