Makeover for ugly boxes

 First of all you'll need
- a box
- adhesive or double-sided tape
- wrapping paper that you like (or you can make your own here)
- scissors
- knife (optional)
- ribbon (optional)

Trace out the shape of each sides of the box on the wrapping paper.

 Cut it out carefully.

 You should cut out the wrapping paper needed for all sides of the box before proceeding to the next step.

 Glue to tape the sides of the box surface. You're gonna get air bubbles and wrinkles if you glue the whole surface. Then, paste the paper carefully onto the glued surface.

Glue or tape the ribbon on the box. TADA! and then you're done!

DIY WRAPPING PAPERS IDEAS

OK so I'm gonna show you a few of my designs and idea over here.

What you need:
Papers
Paint (any type)
Erasers
Sharpie (optional)


So all you have to do, is carve out the design you want on an eraser. Then, paint the eraser and stamp it on your paper. That's all, and below are some of my designs.

Note: Be careful not to put too much paint on the eraser.

Don't worry if you accidentally dripped drops of paint on the paper. I think it kinda looks good.

You may also be innovative and add more details to the design with a sharpie like the example below.

These designs are all created by stamping the paper randomly.

However if you prefer designs that are neat and arranged, then you may do so too.

First, you should draw straight lines on the paper with a pencil to make sure your design will be straight and tidy.

Choose the stamp design you like and paint it.

Stamp it repeatedly in the orientation you like.

I prefer stamping the design with intervals of straight and random stamping designs though.

After you're done stamping, remember to erase off the pencil marking. Then, you may keep adding more details with a sharpie or you can just leave it like that.

Done!

Cartoon character bookmark!

 

Notice how I chose pictures with a hand pointing so that they are pointing at the line where you stopped at. It's procedures are almost the same as the sticker bookmark.

First, choose the picture you want and print it out. Then, paste it to a piece of card and trace the shape of the picture onto the card and cut it out.

Glue a paper clip behind the card with a hot glue gun and then you're done! Make sure the paper clip is glued at the correct direction.

Use a larger paperclip if you chose a larger picture. 

Happy DIY! 

DIY STICKER BOOKMARK!!

Upcycle newspaper coaster DIY (SUPER DUPER EASY)

EXTRA:

1. It will be harder to roll the sticks into square rolls if you use a 1 page stick.

2. You may want to paint it with waterproof paint, maybe use acrylic paint of spray paint it.

 So I decided to use a metallic bright chrome spray paint and the result is awesome!
