Here's a quick and fun way to make a lovely little box using recycled products that you may already have hanging around at home. All you need to start is a small cardboard box, an old sushi rolling mat, scrapbooking paper and Helmar's Super Tac Glue. You will also need any decorations you want to adorn the top of your box along with some ribbon/seam binding.
Firstly, cut two squares of your chosen scrapbooking paper to decorate the sides of the box and glue in to place.
Once the sides have been covered it is time to cut the sushi wrapping mat to fit the width of your box, you may have to cut two strips so that it fits all the way around with a little hanging over the front.
Glue in to place.
Use some simple clips to hold the matting while the glue dries, continue around the whole box.
Secure the first edge and the last edge with Helmar Craft Glue for a strong hold. Allow a couple of inches of matting to hang loosly over the front.
Add some trim of your choice to the edges of the paper using Helmar Craft Glue.
Once this has dried, paint the sushi wrapper mat in a distressed way with white acrylic paint (or colour of choice)
Then you are ready to decorate the box any way you like being sure to add some ribbon or seam binding as a closure or even a magnetic closure if you have one. Once it's finished, fill with special gifts for someone special, your favourite laces or use as a special gift box.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you like this easy project.
