Sometimes, when our videos get into the suggested area of the algorithm it attracts all kinds of people. Too bad they’re so critical of free content. This video was in my suggested videos and I am enjoying it so far! Cute storage box!
I do not understand why some people,just feel the need to act like complete asshats… this idea of yours is the perfect idea for all of these amazon boxes I have! I have a BUNCH on them… I get deliveries to my house from Amazon at least 3 times a week. I am completely disabled and unable to drive so I do a lot of shopping online… I have been trying to find a way to reuse a lot of these boxes…. This is WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful idea!!!
Oddly enough, you can make a dresser out of used boxes, why not you can buy them flat packed for just that. Save money and reuse the boxes. When they are worn out you can recycle them. Would I cover mine in wall paper, no to fancy for my uses but I do reuse boxes to store stuff in. If it rally has to stay dry and dust free buy the plastic tote container these wont do that. I've got boxes from 40 years ago I honestly don't even know whats in them. But they cost me nothing. 40 years to box somthing up fir 0 cost. I always save the small ones great parts bins.
I so agree with you because her way of speaking makes it possible for me to understand everything! You see, I am German and English is not my mother tongue, therefore it is often too hard for me to follow along other crafters here on RUclips as to the way they speak. Posh Paper Lady speaks like an English teacher and I adore her for that, too. Love from Carmen, Germany
I can say my brain doesn’t grasp fast instructions. I can follow along craft along and not have to keep rewinding pausing and playing. Thank You for being a great teacher.
B R I L L I A N T My whole world has been turned around after this tutorial. I have been needing organization bins, but procrastinated bc of the extravagant cost it would take to get the job done. I currently have about a dozen boxes and cannot wait to begin my projects. You are the Queen of creative RUclips! Thank you.
This was great my foyer looks like an Amazon warehouse with all the boxes you are really an excellent instructor with a calming voice. I will ask that you add links to the supplies you use The finger blade the papers the tape the spatula etc plus the companies may work with you so you may be able to get discounts you are realllygood at this you have the whole package Thank you for the ideas I will still be challenged because I only have one hand that works and your video is the first I have seen that makes me feel confident enough to try but I do need all your tools again thanks for the fine job
@@barbarahorne6072 I agree with you Barbara Horne, I hope you can have some really good discounts,because I need your tools to be able to make my containers.🥰
I have watched a lot of videos on using cardboard boxes, but no one has done it as well as you. I loved how you opened up the box and then covered it. That was a genius ideal. As always, I learn so much from you. Thank you so much. I just love you!! I don't know what you did in your life time but you make a great teacher. I love how you explain every step of the way!
I was getting a little nervous when you took the whole backing off the wallpaper at once. Then I thought, No, Sherri knows what she is doing!! Great idea! Better than my gradual peel, stick, and smooth out. As someone mentioned, you have a great teaching manner. I really enjoy your videos, even if I don't know if I can use the info of some of them.☺️
Amen to what she said and your voice is s very calming. And yes you would make a perfect teacher like the lady said bless your life from Pamela to you.
I love watching things go from nothing to something brilliant. Heck, I even enjoy watching those people who go around doing lawns for free. Turning them from an eyesore to beautiful landscaping. That's what art is all about.
I have the boxes and I have the wallpaper. I’m so glad I didn’t try covering until I watched your video. Thanks for finding a much easier way than I would have tried.
Wow. Just love love love this. It's sturdier and prettier than the ones sold on Amazon for storage. It occurred to me that you could take an old belt and cut it up to make handles and do a whole series of boxes. What a fantastic idea and tutorial. I have tons of wall paper and boxes so I'm going to give this a go!
I love your videos! So often, I click on a video and the person talks and talks before getting to the project. I just exit the video before actually getting to the project. It is so refreshing to find someone as creative and knowledgeable as you are. Thank you!!!
I always save my boxes like that to re-use. I take them apart, turn them wrong side out and glue them back together to use for mailing. I love the idea of using them the way you showed for storage. Another way to keep them from being wasted. Thanks.
On my blog it says..in a darkened corner... a pile of paper grows...what it doesn't say is....behind the door a pile of cardboard grows! Always looking out for Posh Lady's ideas and this one"s on my favourite list!! 🌟 🌟 ⭐ 🌠 💫 (Lyn)
I too have been doing this for years,yes I like to open the boxes up also to give it a precise fit,it makes it look so beautiful afterwards. Sometimes I'll finish the look by putting tassels around the top or drawer pullers on the bottom for legs/feet if I'm making a box to sit out on a counter or dresser.. I made one lined with plastic insert as a planter it turned out beautiful.
I use my excess cardboard boxes to make my No Dig Gardens, Kill Weeds where I do not want them, and send threw my shredder to feed my worm farm or act as a mulch along with my mulch around my plants in ground and potted.
I have been getting paper crafting supplies to last me the next few years. Now I have a gazillion boxes that I can use to organize my supplies. Thanks!
I've been looking at storage options for my craft stuff, but everything is so expensive. So far I've just been using plain cardboard boxes. No more! Your boxes were as well made as any I've seen, plus the design is custom! Brava!❤
Love what you have done! I re-use my boxes as well, but differently. It reminds me of when we went to grade school in the mid-fifties. We were given our new books at beginning of the school year third week of August and told to take them home and cover them with some “ nice paper”. That usually meant “plain Kraft paper”. But it worked just fine. We would then use any design to make it look nice. And it did keep the books in good shape, even though we had to carry them home each night for homework. With my Amazon boxes I like to tape two or three different ones together, cut some shapes out for “windows” and make little houses for them to play in. But now that I do a lot of gardening, I use most of my boxes for covering large areas of muddy areas to keep myself from slipping if it has been very rainy. I just open the seams to get the largest piece I can. When I finish, I can just pick it up and put it in my stash I keep in the garage, or if I’m working a wet area over a few days, I can just leave it on the ground when I finish for the day. When it dries out I can still use them again, then put it in the garbage. I also try to overwinter certain geraniums by removing all the dirt from the roots, carefully, and loosely wrap the trimmed back plant in newspaper and put them in one of the larger boxes and close the lid. You are right: these boxes are very strong and do the job nicely. Thank you so much for sharing your creative ideas! I have a sewing room and I’m going to make some boxes like yours!
Oh my goodness, I am not a paper crafter, I am a maker of quilts, but happened upon your channel by accident. This is exactly what I need to store my fabric precuts! I am so excited to do this!
I LOVE THIS! I am always moaning about how I can never find storage solutions I really like that work for me...well now, as long as I can find some peel and stick I like the pattern of, I can make my own. And sizes and shapes can be as varied as the cardboard boxes I come across. So happy. Grateful to you and for you, Posh Paper Lady!
Where do you purchase the snaps you used. I like that you clearly explain each step, love how precise you are and ow great it is to use all those boxes I felt guilty about throwing away . I also made a wastebasket to match my work area. You're so smart.
What a great idea! I can also see creating permanent reusable Christmas present boxes using this method if I can find some bright self adhesive wallpaper. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’ve always found your authenticity so refreshing - and not, I believe, apart from the elegance of simplicity - even in your choice of tools! I admire you, and what you are giving to others. Thank you. The crafting world needs more like you.
Super idea! I get a lot of deliveries from Amazon in assorted boxes. Covering them for storage is something I can desperately use to store countless items!! Turning trash into treasures! Love it!😁
Yes! I am inundated with boxes after I had “stuff” I had in storage deliver to my apartment. Love the self stick textured vinyl which looks nicer then plain old contact paper.
I just bought some beautiful wrapping paper at my local dollar tree that coordinates amazingly well with the wall color in my craft room. I’m looking forward to making storage containers.
Did you try using your wrapping paper, Karen Lee? I’m over here feeling so sad that I don’t have any peel and stick stuff! I’ve been trying to think of what else I could use, but I’m not sure anything else would work for this … first world problems 🙄 lol
You can use the peel and stick shelf liner from the dollar tree they aren't as wide a roll or as long as wallpaper, but you can usually get enough to do the job for just a couple bucks a box or 2.
Sherry, I have been saving sturdy boxes since forever! I knew I wanted to do something with them, just didn't know what. Guess what...now I know! I can hardly wait to get started. Thank you so much for being so awesome!
Great way to reuse boxes. I just got several from Amazon.....big box with tiny purchase... LOL. I finally got my peel and stick wallpaper. I'm going to do up these boxes for added storage in my messy craft room....wish me luck!😂😅😂
Amen, my husband will love that I am watching this since we have a small box store of leftover boxes in our basement. I agree about the about of boxes you get with little of none inside.
Sherry, I really needed this tutorial...because I need the attractive storage all around my house: bedroom, living room, laundry room, kitchen, and craft room! I've decided to wait till I have groups of boxes of the same size and, since these don't have lids, I will make the outside bottom piece just a little larger all around so, when I stack them, they won't fall inside the box below and will sit more securely on top of each other. It might work to just make it bigger front and back (2 sides only) or on each side (2 only), as well.
Charlotte Z. I like your idea; Personally, I think your idea of making the bottom larger would be best for stacking them. I think if you make two sides taller, eventually those extended sides would break down or bend and weaken and not look as nice. That’s if I have a correct picture of what you’ve described in my mind. If you make these, please give us an update and let us know how they turned out. I can’t wait to make some myself.
Beautiful. I just get excited reusing my boxes to make my cat her outside kitty condos for when she chooses to stay out instead of playing inside with a box. Impressive work.
Sherry, I have been hooked on your videos since I discovered them a few weeks ago. I learn so much and have already purchased some of the items and tools that you use. Every video is amazing! You are so innovative and an awesome instructor!! Thank you thank thank you for very informative and creative tutorials!! Xoxo
WOW! WHAT A GREAT IDEA. MY HUSBAND NEEDS TO KEEP HIS HANDS BUSY SINCE RETIREMENT, SO WHILE I AM DECLUTTERING THE CRAFT ROOM HE CAN BE MAKING MY STORAGE BOXES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Was planning on doing decoupage to cover some really sturdy cardboard boxes, but the self-stick wallpaper seems like a way better way to make sure the boxes all match. They should also be as easy to wipe clean as the decoupage would've been. Thanks for sharing a really great idea.
I thought at first when you said, "I hope you're having a fantastic day" and then said, "We all have them, now let's repurpose them" - was thinking you were referring to fantastic days. LOLOL. Great video, by the way!
This is awesome! I was just thinking about doing this sort of thing, but it was not going to turn out nearly as nice looking as yours! The technique you use is going to be so helpful to me!
I have seen others cover boxes before and they look nice, I was going to do it that way, but there are almost always bubbles under the wallpaper/contact paper. I LOVE the way you showed us!!! I have to make a box for my living room with a lid to store our couch blankets/throws!! Thank you for this tutorial. LoVE IT
I have also had the bubbles issue while covering boxes. Sometimes the contact paper begins to to lose it's adhesiveness after a while and starts peeling. I like how she secures it with snaps and double-sided tape.
This is a truly great and timely find for me! I am about to start a box project this method will be perfect for. Plus, I love that you call your little hammer "Chunky". Mine is named "Short Shanks" and has done everything from small space hammering to pulling up carpet and putting down laminate flooring.
This is genius… now I know why I’ve been hoarding boxes for all of these years. My husband will be thrilled to see them covered and useful instead of “neatly” piled up in the spare room!!
I love this idea too. My daughter works at a store where they have literally TONS of cardboard. I've made houses, and furniture for those houses, and vases and everything BUT a storage container! lol. Bad as I need them too! oi vey! What I really need is a module that has drawers. You've given me a fantastic idea for one too. I also suggest you just ignore those IDiots that have not even a mediocre spec of positivity in them. They don't understand kindness. Personally, I LOVE your videos. You go, Girl!!!
Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy goodness! I can barely wait for this one! Ugh. Living so far out of town etc. plus the COVID shutdown, we have had to deal with so many boxes. I am an eager student for this tutorial! Bring it!
Wonderfully clear and precise instructions! I have LOADS of boxes….. now I know exactly what to do with them! I’m hoping it’ll work just as well without the wooden base or the rivets as I don’t have any. I’ll glue the box as the wallpaper I have is actual paper. I also want to use up fabric scraps, so my boxes will look like patchwork. I’ll use spray varnish afterwards to ensure an easy-clean finish. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve just subscribed!
This is a great way to reuse those boxes. I have contemplated using banker boxes with attached lids in my loft and painting or covering, but it always seemed like an arduous task ts o cut and measure paper or fabric to cover. For some reason I never thought about deconstructing the box first. Sometimes the best options are the simplest. Thanks for this video, Sherry!
Dear Posh paper lady WHY would anybody be so rude as to pick apart this video l love your DETAILED FULL EXPLANATION'S on every part of the covering of this box because you explain so WELL its Elaine friendly thank you so much your channel is the best and so easy to follow so many other channels go to fast (for me ) and often leave out steps SO PLEASE DON'T STOP l enjoy you so much and my house look's alot better thanks to you God Bless Thank you Elaine Lewis.
Love this project, I've got ten tons of boxes I need to use and need for storage 👍🏻 I've wrapped boxes before as they stood, in wrapping paper. I guess you could use contact paper too. That design on the wallpaper is so gorgeous, looks like fabric, lovely 👍🏻 you can make it to go in any room you want, have it more bright and colourful for a kids room, also possibly with icons on like unicorns or dinosaurs or something. Possibilities are endless with this 😄👍🏻👍🏻 xxx
Emma, I just attempted to do an amazon box with dollar tree contact paper. I wanted to try that first before using my good wallpaper. Didn't do that well. To thin and didn't stick very well. Thankfully I have plenty of boxes to spare. This is such a great idea to recycle some of the stuff I've collected.
I am watching you for the first time-Yay ya! Thank you for sharing a way to repurpose all those annoying boxes. Such skill in your tactile approach (am I saying that right?) to fabricate this form so successfully . I have most of the tools but dying to get my hands on that stubby hammer you have, you made my day 🤗

Just broke down some sturdy packing boxes and stored in my stash. Yaaaaaay…….. First time having what’s needed for a tutorial……..do not have to try to find 🤗🤗🤗 some supplies I know won’t be at the dollar tree store😊
Very impressed, not only with the idea, but with your instruction, presentation, delivery, editing.... just everything. You are very professional and meticulous. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
This might be my favorite video of yours ever!!! I love this idea. Question-do you think shelf contact paper could also be used instead of self adhesive wallpaper?
I just “stumbled” across your channel for the first time today and watched this video. What an awesome idea! I’m so glad you went step by step and also provided links to all the products you used. I will definitely be checking out more of your RUclips videos and will be subscribing as well. You have such a great instructional manner in both the way you speak and the reassurance you provide in your commentary. Thank you for posting!

Sherry, I get a lot of my medications delivered in styrofoam coolers every month. They are clean and sturdy and I hate to just throw them out. Do you have any upcycling ideas? I really love your upcycling cardboard box project. Thanks
Yes me too..i actually, begrudgingly just threw out 3 of them because I didn't have an idea for them. I kept the really big ones to store my Xmas Village in the shed. They are ceramic and now they are safe.
@@buckiannscreations9089 , I would be interested in getting them from you, I could pay to have them shipped to me if you are interested. I sale Betta's and styrofoam cooler's are the safest way to ship them in the USA, because I have to use ice and heat packs due to the weather. Any size would be good, but the smaller ones are better.
Put it up for free on Facebook, or some other community page. Many people have a use for those and will gladly pick up a bunch when you have accumulated them.
Thanks SO much for this video! I had you in mind last night when I went shopping for contact paper! Over 32 feet of it to be exact! I LOVE the pattern I bought, and I can't wait to dig into some of these ugly boxes I've got. ;-) BIG HUGS from SW Missouri!
I love love love this idea with the spare bathtub full of boxes all the way to the ceiling, I think I can do this easily.Now I got an excuse to shop Amazon again grin!
My grandma collected cardboard boxes. She would have had a fit if she saw me getting rid of them like I do. Also, a serrated bread knife cuts cardboard like magic. Who knew? Great video.
I love listening to you give instructions. Sometimes I’m not even watching the video! I have a weird obsession with boxes so I’m excited to give this a try 😊
Brilliant storage ideas ! My mother and a creative co-worker created furniture for pre-school classroom use. Contact paper, refrigerator boxes and genius made the impossible possible. So many "unsung " teachers made fabulous environments with next to nothing. Heartfelt Love. Congratulations.
Genius! I needed an inexpensive way to create storage for our grandson's bazillion legos and this looks like the perfect solution. The label section is a great idea - but I may even do the handle and label on the same side! As I am watching your video - I was thinking about a way to make a hinged lid too.
This is such a cool idea. I've got so many boxes! I wish I'd been watching your videos 3 years ago when this one came out! I'm glad your videos are all available, because I'm late to the party.
Oh so true about those boxes. Usually, there’s lots of filler and then the small items. Great idea to repurpose them in such a stylish manner. They’ll be great for organizing and storage. Nicely done❣️

Great idea about...about turning them inside out......Brillant.. Thx 👍👍
I do that with the paper and plastic mailers- I turn them inside out and use them to ship things out.
I too have been doing this for years,yes I like to open the boxes up also to give it a precise fit,it makes it look so beautiful afterwards. Sometimes I'll finish the look by putting tassels around the top or drawer pullers on the bottom for legs/feet if I'm making a box to sit out on a counter or dresser.. I made one lined with plastic insert as a planter it turned out beautiful.
Mind. Blown. I've been using my excess boxes in the yard as a biodegradable layer under my mulch beds. Thank you for another idea....GREAT idea!
You are so welcome!
That's a good idea too. I just took a pickup load of cardboard to the recycling center. But I'm sure there will be more.
I use my excess cardboard boxes to make my No Dig Gardens, Kill Weeds where I do not want them, and send threw my shredder to feed my worm farm or act as a mulch along with my mulch around my plants in ground and potted.

I am always moaning about how I can never find storage solutions I really like that work for me...well now, as long as I can find some peel and stick I like the pattern of, I can make my own. And sizes and shapes can be as varied as the cardboard boxes I come across. So happy. Grateful to you and for you, Posh Paper Lady!
Thank you so much!
Where do you purchase the snaps you used. I like that you clearly explain each step, love how precise you are and ow great it is to use all those boxes I felt guilty about throwing away . I also made a wastebasket to match my work area. You're so smart.
Opening the box makes the paper adhered to it look so much better
What a great idea! I can also see creating permanent reusable Christmas present boxes using this method if I can find some bright self adhesive wallpaper. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are welcome Michele!!!!
I’ve always found your authenticity so refreshing - and not, I believe, apart from the elegance of simplicity - even in your choice of tools! I admire you, and what you are giving to others. Thank you. The crafting world needs more like you.
You are too kind! Thank you so much Cindy!
Super idea! I get a lot of deliveries from Amazon in assorted boxes. Covering them for storage is something I can desperately use to store countless items!!
Turning trash into treasures! Love it!😁
YOU’RE KIDDING ME! What a great idea!,
I LOVE THIS. I love the waste not, want not, part. Plus making something useful, and needed out of the empty boxes. Less landfill.
Yes! I am inundated with boxes after I had “stuff” I had in storage deliver to my apartment. Love the self stick textured vinyl which looks nicer then plain old contact paper.
I just bought some beautiful wrapping paper at my local dollar tree that coordinates amazingly well with the wall color in my craft room. I’m looking forward to making storage containers.
I’m not a fan of wrapping paper. It does not last as long.
The shelving paper sticks & lasts longer.
Did you try using your wrapping paper, Karen Lee? I’m over here feeling so sad that I don’t have any peel and stick stuff! I’ve been trying to think of what else I could use, but I’m not sure anything else would work for this … first world problems 🙄 lol
You can use the peel and stick shelf liner from the dollar tree they aren't as wide a roll or as long as wallpaper, but you can usually get enough to do the job for just a couple bucks a box or 2.
Sherry, I have been saving sturdy boxes since forever! I knew I wanted to do something with them, just didn't know what. Guess what...now I know! I can hardly wait to get started. Thank you so much for being so awesome!
You can do it Zelma!
Great way to reuse boxes. I just got several from Amazon.....big box with tiny purchase... LOL. I finally got my peel and stick wallpaper. I'm going to do up these boxes for added storage in my messy craft room....wish me luck!😂😅😂
Wow! Thank you!!!!
You are genius! So creative!
Thank you so much Chris! 😊
Amen, my husband will love that I am watching this since we have a small box store of leftover boxes in our basement. I agree about the about of boxes you get with little of none inside.
Sherry, I really needed this tutorial...because I need the attractive storage all around my house: bedroom, living room, laundry room, kitchen, and craft room! I've decided to wait till I have groups of boxes of the same size and, since these don't have lids, I will make the outside bottom piece just a little larger all around so, when I stack them, they won't fall inside the box below and will sit more securely on top of each other. It might work to just make it bigger front and back (2 sides only) or on each side (2 only), as well.
Charlotte Z. I like your idea; Personally, I think your idea of making the bottom larger would be best for stacking them. I think if you make two sides taller, eventually those extended sides would break down or bend and weaken and not look as nice. That’s if I have a correct picture of what you’ve described in my mind. If you make these, please give us an update and let us know how they turned out. I can’t wait to make some myself.
Beautiful. I just get excited reusing my boxes to make my cat her outside kitty condos for when she chooses to stay out instead of playing inside with a box. Impressive work.
Awesome look out of junk box. I know where I am going to be spending some money. Not on storage boxes! Thank you so very much.
You are so welcome!
🎉Beautifully done!
I love how neatly this was done. Great inspiration here! Ill never look at a shipping box the same way again. Thank you!
You are very welcome Keri !!
Sherry, I have been hooked on your videos since I discovered them a few weeks ago. I learn so much and have already purchased some of the items and tools that you use. Every video is amazing! You are so innovative and an awesome instructor!! Thank you thank thank you for very informative and creative tutorials!! Xoxo
You are so welcome!
What a great idea. Maybe I can organize my hall closet finally.
Go for it Cathy!
Can you come help me when your done with yours!? LOL
I was so overwhelmed with boxes and at the same time I thought what a waste to throw them out. Thank you for helping me to repurpose the “BOX❣️
WOW! WHAT A GREAT IDEA. MY HUSBAND NEEDS TO KEEP HIS HANDS BUSY SINCE RETIREMENT, SO WHILE I AM DECLUTTERING THE CRAFT ROOM HE CAN BE MAKING MY STORAGE BOXES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I love your clear directions and using these boxes again. Do you have a video on making the tops for the “new” boxes?
Was planning on doing decoupage to cover some really sturdy cardboard boxes, but the self-stick wallpaper seems like a way better way to make sure the boxes all match.
They should also be as easy to wipe clean as the decoupage would've been.
Thanks for sharing a really great idea.
I thought at first when you said, "I hope you're having a fantastic day" and then said, "We all have them, now let's repurpose them" - was thinking you were referring to fantastic days. LOLOL. Great video, by the way!
Love that!
I did too
👏👏You are AWESOME! I enjoy watching you. Not only do you have wonderful ideas you have the talent to explain how to do it! Much thanks!
Thank you so much!
Now I know what to do with all those Amazon boxes I didn't want to throw out. Thanks!
This is awesome! I was just thinking about doing this sort of thing, but it was not going to turn out nearly as nice looking as yours! The technique you use is going to be so helpful to me!
You can do it Smovakpro!
I have seen others cover boxes before and they look nice, I was going to do it that way, but there are almost always bubbles under the wallpaper/contact paper. I LOVE the way you showed us!!! I have to make a box for my living room with a lid to store our couch blankets/throws!! Thank you for this tutorial. LoVE IT
I have also had the bubbles issue while covering boxes. Sometimes the contact paper begins to to lose it's adhesiveness after a while and starts peeling. I like how she secures it with snaps and double-sided tape.
This is a truly great and timely find for me! I am about to start a box project this method will be perfect for. Plus, I love that you call your little hammer "Chunky". Mine is named "Short Shanks" and has done everything from small space hammering to pulling up carpet and putting down laminate flooring.
This is genius… now I know why I’ve been hoarding boxes for all of these years. My husband will be thrilled to see them covered and useful instead of “neatly” piled up in the spare room!!
I love this idea too. My daughter works at a store where they have literally TONS of cardboard. I've made houses, and furniture for those houses, and vases and everything BUT a storage container! lol. Bad as I need them too! oi vey! What I really need is a module that has drawers. You've given me a fantastic idea for one too. I also suggest you just ignore those IDiots that have not even a mediocre spec of positivity in them. They don't understand kindness. Personally, I LOVE your videos. You go, Girl!!!
Such a great storage and organization idea for teachers and/or college students. It's perfect!
It really is Marelyn!
I just love this project! You’re sooooo inspiring!
Wow, thank you!
Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy goodness! I can barely wait for this one! Ugh. Living so far out of town etc. plus the COVID shutdown, we have had to deal with so many boxes. I am an eager student for this tutorial! Bring it!
BEAUTIFUL JOB, THANKS FOR THE GREAT IDEA
That finger-blade is amazing! I’ve never seen such a tool!
Wonderfully clear and precise instructions! I have LOADS of boxes….. now I know exactly what to do with them! I’m hoping it’ll work just as well without the wooden base or the rivets as I don’t have any. I’ll glue the box as the wallpaper I have is actual paper. I also want to use up fabric scraps, so my boxes will look like patchwork. I’ll use spray varnish afterwards to ensure an easy-clean finish. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve just subscribed!
This is a great way to reuse those boxes. I have contemplated using banker boxes with attached lids in my loft and painting or covering, but it always seemed like an arduous task ts o cut and measure paper or fabric to cover. For some reason I never thought about deconstructing the box first. Sometimes the best options are the simplest. Thanks for this video, Sherry!
Thanks RosieMae…I like I keep it as simple as possible. Those bankers boxes should be fun😀😀😀
Dear Posh paper lady WHY would anybody be so rude as to pick apart this video l love your DETAILED FULL EXPLANATION'S on every part of the
covering of this box because you explain so WELL its Elaine friendly thank you so much your channel is the best and so easy to follow so many other
channels go to fast (for me ) and often leave out steps SO PLEASE DON'T STOP l enjoy you so much and my house look's alot better thanks to you
God Bless Thank you Elaine Lewis.
Love this idea for bringing my craft room to a more unified look 😁. Thank you Sheri ❤
So creative! And who doesn't get a ridiculous amount of Amazon or other shipping boxes!!
I'm so happy I found you!!
My favorite thing to craft with is cardboard box’s and make beautiful items
Thank you, thank you! I have been trying to make pretty boxes for containers and you have just shown me how to do it more successfully.
You are so welcome!
Love this project, I've got ten tons of boxes I need to use and need for storage 👍🏻 I've wrapped boxes before as they stood, in wrapping paper. I guess you could use contact paper too. That design on the wallpaper is so gorgeous, looks like fabric, lovely 👍🏻 you can make it to go in any room you want, have it more bright and colourful for a kids room, also possibly with icons on like unicorns or dinosaurs or something. Possibilities are endless with this 😄👍🏻👍🏻 xxx
Emma, I just attempted to do an amazon box with dollar tree contact paper. I wanted to try that first before using my good wallpaper. Didn't do that well. To thin and didn't stick very well. Thankfully I have plenty of boxes to spare. This is such a great idea to recycle some of the stuff I've collected.
I am watching you for the first time-Yay ya! Thank you for sharing a way to repurpose all those annoying boxes. Such skill in your tactile approach (am I saying that right?) to fabricate this form so successfully . I have most of the tools but dying to get my hands on that stubby hammer you have, you made my day 🤗
WELCOME MOLLY!!! Thank you so much😀
I am so glad that RUclips suggested your channel!

Great! I’m new to your channel! I have a lot of boxes now from ordering for the 2021 holidays. I’ll save them now to do this! A fabulous idea for storage. Including underbed decorative boxes. I may add wheels on those!

Just broke down some sturdy packing boxes and stored in my stash.
Yaaaaaay……..
First time having what’s needed for a tutorial……..do not have to try to find 🤗🤗🤗 some supplies I know won’t be at the dollar tree store😊
Very impressed, not only with the idea, but with your instruction, presentation, delivery, editing.... just everything. You are very professional and meticulous. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Natural born teacher. Gift!
This might be my favorite video of yours ever!!! I love this idea. Question-do you think shelf contact paper could also be used instead of self adhesive wallpaper?
This is an awesome idea! I'm getting ready to redesign my craft room and this will be a great addition!
I just “stumbled” across your channel for the first time today and watched this video. What an awesome idea! I’m so glad you went step by step and also provided links to all the products you used. I will definitely be checking out more of your RUclips videos and will be subscribing as well. You have such a great instructional manner in both the way you speak and the reassurance you provide in your commentary. Thank you for posting!

AWESOME idea!!!!!!!! Wonderful tutorial!!!!!! Makes me shudder to think of all the boxes that get tossed every day!!!!!!!
Wonderful! Trash cans and any kind of storage boxes. Gifts also! This lady is great!
Sherry about never cease to amaze us!
What an innovative way to "re-purpose" all those cardboard boxes we receive!!!
👍
Thanks so much!
Sherry, I get a lot of my medications delivered in styrofoam coolers every month. They are clean and sturdy and I hate to just throw them out. Do you have any upcycling ideas? I really love your upcycling cardboard box project. Thanks
Yes me too..i actually, begrudgingly just threw out 3 of them because I didn't have an idea for them. I kept the really big ones to store my Xmas Village in the shed. They are ceramic and now they are safe.
@@buckiannscreations9089 , I would be interested in getting them from you, I could pay to have them shipped to me if you are interested.
I sale Betta's and styrofoam cooler's are the safest way to ship them in the USA, because I have to use ice and heat packs due to the weather. Any size would be good, but the smaller ones are better.
I have styrofoam coolers , too, from meat packed in dry ice.
@@buckiannscreations9089 meals on wheels may appreciate the styrofoam boxes to deliver to seniors. Sometimes they have to leave it on thr porch
Put it up for free on Facebook, or some other community page. Many people have a use for those and will gladly pick up a bunch when you have accumulated them.
Thanks SO much for this video! I had you in mind last night when I went shopping for contact paper! Over 32 feet of it to be exact! I LOVE the pattern I bought, and I can't wait to dig into some of these ugly boxes I've got. ;-) BIG HUGS from SW Missouri!
You are very welcome Barbara!!!
Geez ...so smart!!
I love love love this idea with the spare bathtub full of boxes all the way to the ceiling, I think I can do this easily.Now I got an excuse to shop Amazon again grin!
What could anyone complain about? It's just jealousy.❤😊 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and talent.
😊 thank you
You opened a new world for me. Am a sewer and happened upon you; am glad I did
Thank you Penney!
You talk so clearly as you work. You're great. Thank you
Thank you so much!!
My grandma collected cardboard boxes. She would have had a fit if she saw me getting rid of them like I do. Also, a serrated bread knife cuts cardboard like magic. Who knew? Great video.
I love listening to you give instructions. Sometimes I’m not even watching the video!
I have a weird obsession with boxes so I’m excited to give this a try 😊
Oh thank you!
Brilliant storage ideas !
My mother and a creative co-worker created furniture for pre-school classroom use. Contact paper, refrigerator boxes and genius made the impossible possible. So many "unsung " teachers made fabulous environments with next to nothing. Heartfelt Love. Congratulations.
Genius! I needed an inexpensive way to create storage for our grandson's bazillion legos and this looks like the perfect solution. The label section is a great idea - but I may even do the handle and label on the same side! As I am watching your video - I was thinking about a way to make a hinged lid too.
This is such a cool idea. I've got so many boxes! I wish I'd been watching your videos 3 years ago when this one came out! I'm glad your videos are all available, because I'm late to the party.
Oh so true about those boxes. Usually, there’s lots of filler and then the small items. Great idea to repurpose them in such a stylish manner. They’ll be great for organizing and storage.
Nicely done❣️
Not only do you have great videos, I enjoy your voice! You keep me company while get a lot done! And sometimes I even get to craft with you.🥰🥰
