Craft Supply Storage Boxes

Another way to use up old wrapping paper.  This time pasted onto icecream containers.  These are a good size for crayons, pens, glitter, ribbon - just check out any kindy or school for proof.

Covering them in old wrapping paper is another gluey project to share with children.  They like having different boxes - makes it easy for them to differentiate containers before reading comes along.  Add a label for your memory though.

All you need to is wallpaper paste. It smooths out most wrinkly paper once dry.
Press a piece of paper over the lid to crease around the edges (like lining a baking tin).  Cut out along creases and glue.  So easy it's ridiculous.  Get a whole collection of containers  together to do in one go, otherwise your afternoon of craft entertainment will be over too soon.
