DIY Storage Box pt 2

The other day I started making a magazine storage box. Today I finished the box, in total it took 44 rolled pieces of magazine paper. It was easy to calculate because each side needed 11 pieces rolled up.

The finished thing looks like this:




I couldn't bare rolling any more for the lid so decided to just use odd bits from magazine pages and stick it to the lid.

DIY Storage Box

Yesterday me and my sister went to finish our Christmas shopping, whilst in TKMaxx I saw a storage box which was decorated with wrapped up pages from a magazine. However the inside of this box did look like a shoe box, cost £10 and I thought I could make it, so today I have started to make my storage box.
This is the kinda thing I am talking about:

So far I have spent nothing on this box, I had an old shoe box lying around, a lot of old magazines and a pritt stick at home.



Instead having thing strips of magazine paper I decided to roll the paper to give it texture. To do this I used paper from the middle of the magazine to get the right length so the paper didn't over lap itself. I then cut it into a triangle shape and started to roll it once I had covered one side in glue.


I then made enough to cover a side of the box and stuck them on with a lot more glue. So far I have covered two sides of the box: 

Once I have finished the whole box I will add more up close photos, so you can see the detail.
