The easiest way of removing a sticker I’ve found so far is to use oil. Vegetable oil or olive oil. Rub a small dab of your oil of choice directly on the sticker and rub back and forth or in small circles. The sticker comes off pretty easy. Then wash with warm soapy water and rinse. Easy peazy 😊
I think you were right Steve, the box looked way better black. I also think making it black took away the old chocolate box look it still had. It looks amazing now Steve! I love your ideas, none of your videos are ever boring or the same as any other, thats something I love about your channel, always something new and always something fun to watch. Thanks for a great video and a really cool idea! God bless you and your loved ones. Have a brilliant weekend!
OMG…. Those are my favorite candies ever! I use those boxes for storage for all sorts of little bobs and bits! I have several of those little plastic cases and have never made anything with them! I honestly don’t know why I have t ever done anything with them., but guess what? I will be making something out of them now! lol thank you Steve! I can always count on you to give me a lovely idea to make something beautiful… hugs!!!!
I love this one! Never would have thought to do what you did with a container I've seen a million times! You could wrap two lengths of foam in that same velour you used, put them very close together and use that to hold rings in the crease between them.
Love the way you used this box!!! I have 1 that I've been using at sales to display Christmas pins in!! Left it clear and added a background cloth to it..... I think I HAVE TO step it up with a bit more sparkle ✨✨ Stay safe, you do you, protect yourself, stay strong and stay crafty 👍👍🛎️🔔🦋🦋
I am sorry this is a long comment, but there are suggestions listed below to personalise it to your requirements or taste. Thank you Steve for this video. I will be asking friends & family to hold on to the boxes if they receive any over Christmas. I prefer it now the sides are painted over. I didn’t like the opaque-ish look with the red dowels showing through. I would suggest if you plan to use it for displays, maybe a thin sheet of MDF (not sure if cardboard would work) & place it inside the lid & then screw in (or nail in) something to hang your earrings, bracelets etc on. Little eye hooks maybe good for earrings & they may stay hooked in when you close the lid. Or you could attach some fishing line, ribbon etc to create something to hang more earrings on to help them dangle using little hooks and/or eyes). I also think the monogram on the lid doesn’t work with the holographic film. Maybe it’s just the way the camera picks it up & it looks better in person, but I feel the holographic swallows it up. Maybe you could do a small monogram on the edge of your jewellery box/display box? If you want to use it as a display box & you really want to have your monogram on display, I would suggest doing what I suggested above, but before placing your hook & eye, you could place your monogram on there. Large or medium sizes & have you jewellery displayed over the monogram or small, in the centre with jewellery displayed all around it. Also if you planned to use it as a display case, keep the lid clear. Then have your bracelets & necklaces laying flat on the fabric display board. Then if you are at an out door market, it can protect your jewellery from the elements. I always feel that homemade jewellery displayed this way, is just that little bit more special. Think about high end jewellery stores. They have their jewellery & watches on display with a clear lid that you can see through & that little bit of excitement when they open it up so you can have a close up view & the excitement when you have made that purchase. Get some small, strong plain colours that will look good on your display board. Mark on the back of the display board where you want to place these buttons or deceptive but plain beads. Now using several strands of thread or some fishing line, using a strong sewing needle to go up through the board leaving a tail of two-three inches of thread behind, put the needle through the buttonhole or bead & put your needle back through the board where your needle came up through. Tie a knot in the back as an anchor & then go back up through the board multiple times to secure the button or bead in place. Then securely knot the back. Do this multiple times. Think of bed headboards, some mattresses or cushions & chairs where they have this sort of design on it. You could secure all the knots on the back with superglue, a glue gun or superglue & then cover with a transparent or opaque sticky film, like your holographic film, or the film you might have used at school to go over the cover of your books. Or cover with another thin layer of matching fabric. The possibilities are endless
Ive used a heat gun to remove sticky stickers, otherwise i just use goo-gone which is an oil based adhesive remover that smells like oranges. Best stuff to remove uncured resin from skin, clothing, or other surfaces is hand sanitizer. Then you wash your hands after if you got it on your fingers etc
Excellent idea - I've had a few of these somewhere down in the basement but during the last clean-up I fear they ended up in the recycle bin. BTW, Ferraro does indeed use stickers - I remember peeling them off (at least in Canada anyway).
I must say, you're doing an exceptional job with your RUclips videos. I stumbled upon your channel just recently, and I find it highly enjoyable and gratifying to visit. I eagerly await the opportunity to experience more of your outstanding work. Have an amazing week, and keep up the tremendous effort!
Just a little earl and soap.Why Asatone😂 I've used the for window pains for small projects that I have 🪟,s in.😂 Try it out. Molly Brown gave me Kaye-Lee that idea😂
Love this, I am just like you about those boxes! I just end up putting paperwork in them! I love the jars from the 2 coffee companies to upcycle but my mind seems to be a bit blank recently
Can't beat black velvet for showing off bling!

I was coming here to say the same thing.
Lemon essential oil.
Rubbing alcohol removes the adhesive really well
Painting it black did the trick. It’s very pretty.
Love the addition of the black. Really made the whole box standout more 🎉
I have loads of these boxes and I use them to keep my glitter, alcohol ink, tools and small silicone moulds in as it keeps them all tidy :)
Very impressive. The black was definitively a good idea.
I always thought that these boxes deserved not to be thrown away. Great idea
Love it in black 🖤 🖤
I think you were right Steve, the box looked way better black. I also think making it black took away the old chocolate box look it still had. It looks amazing now Steve!

I’m glad you changed the color. Definitely makes it look better!❤❤❤
Lovely video! I agree the black coat looked better!
It looks way better in black! Great job! 👏🏼
Definitely better black.
Looks amazing, and yes, the black looks a lot better. ❤❤❤
Black was a really good decision 🎉❤
Next video up, Steve washes the dishes lol. You’re so clever
Really a good idea on the upcycle for the box. ❤❤❤
To take off labels all you have to use is hand sanitizer, the glue comes off like a dream.
What a great idea! It looks really awesome! No one would ever guess what it originally was.
Yeah LOVED it black! Now to buy some choccies! 😂😂
Mitered corners on those little wood pieces would look so professional great idea on this box! I love Arteza paints great paints good price
Great black
Love this video, it does look better painted black 👍🏻
I love re making or remodelling chocolate boxes, have a couple hearts in my stash. Beautiful box.

Very beautiful jewelry box 😊
I liked it better black too, My daughter gets rochets each birthday, Xmas and Easter and I know she has one of those boxes. TFS
I have 2 of those boxes I've been saving for a project. Thank you for the good idea. :)
You crack me up!!! I too change my crafting projects when seen the next day.
That's terrific Steve, Ruth down under.
love this so much! my favorite candy! i have reused these boxes for everything even to gift homemade stuffed chocolate covered strawberries
Top call there. Thought you had ruined the box when I saw you painting the lid but it looks great with the holographic stuff. Nice recycle!
Beautiful Steve. Also like the black more😊❤.
That's a great idea Steve, I have a lot of jewelry.
Great idea!
Wow what a great idea, it looks great 😊
I struggled getting rid of the box the last time I had one. Now I know what I can make next time! Thanks Steve!
Now I just need to get those chocolates for the holidays.
I use mine for my knitting bits xx
I love this one! Never would have thought to do what you did with a container I've seen a million times! You could wrap two lengths of foam in that same velour you used, put them very close together and use that to hold rings in the crease between them.
I like it.
Looks awesome!! Who would have thought?

Stay safe, you do you, protect yourself, stay strong and stay crafty 👍👍🛎️🔔🦋🦋
Love it 👍 so many great ideas!
I live in the town where Ferraro Roche is made.
As clear as mud in a bottle 😉
Amazing!!!
Pretty nifty 😊 now to find somebody to buy me those treats in that exact same box lol 😆❤🤔😻
Beautiful. Must have been made for me Steve lol😅
Goo Gone is made for that. I don't know if you can get it there or not though.
Great up cycle! I do alot of up cycle and recycle pieces. From jewelry to sculpture. Your box came out fantastic
no more guilt over the box, just the calories
I put my tea bags in mine.
Hi Steve I am thinking of getting my self a cricut for Christmas 😊. I like what yours can do. Please tell me which one you have. Thanks

Love the idea!💡 But my ocd kicked in.... why didn't you clean the fabric
Goo-gone takes stickers off without scratching plastic or most other surfaces. IMO
Any type of cooking oil will remove the sticky adhesive easily
Spraying alcohol on the label often helps remove it.
Lemon oil, the essential oil lemon oil. Even the cheap stuff. Takes off anything sticky.
Nail polish remover (non acetone) on a cotton pad works wonders on sticky labels, far quicker and cleaner than soap and water
Oil is better. It breaks up the glue and it just slips off. Acetone will damage some surfaces, so it's rarely my first choice.
@@Hiforest I said non-acetone.
@@quiet_shy Haha. Sure you did. Have a nice day.
I’ve been using mine to store alcohol markers.
Trailer Park Pretty 😅
Did you finish off the bottom of the box? I noticed the cardboard still showed after the fabric was attached onto it. Looks great!
Excellent idea - I've had a few of these somewhere down in the basement but during the last clean-up I fear they ended up in the recycle bin. BTW, Ferraro does indeed use stickers - I remember peeling them off (at least in Canada anyway).
WD40 takes off labels without scratching the plastic
I suspect you can save money by buying a normalassed plastic box then convert it instead of the overprized Ferrero products...
Really cool... except maybe next time use a clean piece of 'velvet' instead of one that is all messy looking..
I cringed when u said to use acetone 🥴 maybe if ya would've blotted instead of brushed it. It might've looked ok. I do luv the black though!!!
Sorry thought this was soooooo much work.
