Trash to Treasure

What do you see when you look at this picture? An ugly cardboard box, right?

Wrong!

Put on your creative glasses and keep reading…)

Step 1: Butcher the box.

Step 2: Cover the box. Everything’s better with burlap!

Step 3: Add a little “fru-fru.” I gathered a scrap piece of denim I had leftover from another project.

Step 4: Decide what you want to say. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I wanted to make something to do with love…the Greatest Love. I used freezer paper to stencil the words onto the burlap. Just cut the design out of freezer paper, iron the paper shiny-side-down into place, and paint. Peel away the paper to reveal a perfect print.

Step 5 & 6: Add the main ingredient and hang to enjoy!

I just love crafting on the cheap. "
