DIY Friday, Christmas Box!

Hey Everybody! I really love this DIY Friday video/Post! It's really fun and I enjoyed it a lot! 

In this video I'm going to show you how to make a really simple box to store your Holiday cards for the season. 

What you will need : 

-Scoring board ( I used a Martha Stewart one)

-(2) 12x12 sheets of Card-stock

-Adhesive 

-Scissors 

-Embellishments (Only if you want to decorate your box!)

After you've gathered your items, Let's get Started! 

1. Score your first sheet of paper at 3in and score at 9in 

2. Turn the paper and score the paper again at 3in by 9in 

3 Take the second piece of paper and score at 3in by 9x1/8in 

4. Turn the second sheet of paper and score at 3in by 9x1/8in

5.Take your scissors and cut a line from each corner of BOTH sheets of paper, Make sure to stay on the scored lines! 

5. Put adhesive on the flaps of where you cut, and start making your box stand up.You will have to do this to both sheets of paper, then you will have two half boxes! 

6. You can decorate your top part of your box or leave it blank, Your choice! 

7.That's it! Enjoy your box :D 

I Love this finished project! :) 

Notice how I used Megan Elizebeth Chipboard stickers? I LOVE THEM! :) 

Hope you all have a Great day and enjoy the weekend! I will be doing a lot of stuff! 

Saturday were going to the Zoo then Sunday we have church, Then after a lunch I'm getting Baptized with my two Cousins! :) 

Thanks for stoppin' By! 

DIY Friday! #2

Hey Everyone! 

It's Friday, You know what that means! DIY Friday! I love this day because I get the opportunity to share with you a REALLY cool DIY Project, That you could try over the weekend. 

Wednesday I went to this thrift store called "Begin and again" Its pretty cool, there is clothes there and random stuff people bring in.  I saw this ugly white Key holder type thing for like 3 dollars 

 Above is what I found. I mean it was alright, But I wanted to do something fun with it! 

When I got in the car I stated brainstorming what I could do with it...  I first decided i was just going to paint it Blue and thats it. THEN I decided that I wanted there to be a CHALKBOARD where the cherry's were and the blue printed design. 

Which created This : 

Now the Black is the chalkboard! I didn't have any chalk to try it out tho, But I know it works! 

Here is a video about me making it start to finish : 

Here's your supply list : 

-Key Holder or something like what I had to start with 

-Your color paint ( I chose blue)

-Paint Brush 

-Chalkboard paint

-Blue Painters tape 

The first thing you should do is decide what to paint what, Example, I wanted to keep the holders white. I unscrewed them and went on by painting the wood Blue, After about three good coats I decided where I wanted the Chalboard and put the Painters tape on to a sure that no other spots would get painted.  When your ready to get out the chalkboard paint I recommend three coats! I think it gives a really good feel, to! After the chalkboard paint has all three coats and there dry remove the painters tape, Hoping no paint seeped threw. If so, get the blue paint out and touch up. Lastly, Screw the white holders back in and hang it up! Now your family has a awesome Key holder or coat holder with a chalkboard to leave messages! 

Hope you enjoyed today's DIY Post. 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
