Fabric wrapped storage boxes

 Storage boxes

Working on my daughters bedroom. She no longer needed the toddler look and we had to come up with creative ideas on a tight budget.
Keurig k-cup boxes are the perfect size for storage containers for her bookshelf. I cut the flaps off, and chose ah fabric mix that would match her comforter. She wanted the theme to be zig-zag with teal & corral. 
I cut the fabric to cover the outside of the boxes with a 12" overhang top & bottom. The fabric was glued to the boxes in a similar manner to wrapping gifts. 
I finished the edges with ribbon and glued a wide ricrac handle on each box. 
Easy, inexpensive cute and custom storage and an excellent decor piece.

Pants too short??

I seem to strike out more often than I like with pants that shrink in the washer. (They fit perfectly when I buy them)
I decided to upcycle 2 pairs into 1 & love the results.
The Brown pants are still good, just too short. The jeans were worn out. I used the legs & back pockets, some extra fabric for lining and trim.
