Scrap Paper Bin Craft

I love arts and crafts! It is a hobby I got into at a very early age, but not until now did I really began to develop it. I began my son's scrapbook almost 7 years ago and I have yet to finish it. It's unfortunate because I now have to began my daughter's and I feel a bit overwhelmed. Nonetheless, that is a project I hope to catch up on this year and of course continue.
My latest craft was a much needed bin. I have a lot of scrapbooking paper and for some time it was all over the place. I never found a bin that I liked at the store, something that would allow me to keep it in one place, but access it easily. I decided to make a bin to my liking and the best part is that the project cost less than $5 to make.

The materials I needed were:
A shoe box (the bigger the better)
A roll of brown PaperBag Paper (you can get these at a Dollar Store or 99Cents Store)
A couple of scrapbook pages (colors or design to your liking)
Tape and scissors

Process:
Tape the entire shoe box shut as if you're never going to open it again.
Cut off a horizontal side of the shoe box so that your scrap paper fits in there right
Wrap the shoe box with the Paper Bag Paper (like you're wrapping a Christmas gift)
Then decorate to your liking with the scrapbook pages

As you can see I used the scrapbook paper to decorate the front of my box only


My bin makes it easy for me to see the different type of papers I have without having to dig through it. If you have any questions on the project email me or write a comment at the bottom. Have a great weekend everyone!
