Altered Recipe box from Michael's

I altered a $1 recipe box from Michael's, and this is what I came up with.  It's not too elaborate, because I am using it to store my Cuttlebug folders, and my daughter and I will be going in and out of it a lot!  I have a couple more I plan to embellish a little more, so I will be sure to post those pics as well.   I used double sided designer paper and adhered it to the box with ATG adhesive.  I used a ruler and measured each section I wanted to cover, then used a nail file to smooth the edges.  I embellished with some blue ribbon-adhered with ATG as well, and used some butterfly dimensional butterflies from K & Company.


That's all for now! 

Have a great night!
