How to Wrap

By wrap, I mean wrap, not rap (for a how-to on rapping, you should probably seek advice from someone else not me!).

This year, we are really trying to be frugal, and I'm trying to fill my time with lots of crafts.  I made these awesome little boxes, then used scrapbook stickers to label them! PERFECT for the little gifts I made (can't show those yet until after Christmas!)

What you'll need:
12x12 scrapbook paper (or any size, really)
Scissors

First, I didn't need very big boxes for this project, so I cut each 12x12 into 4 squares.  You'll want the paper to be fairly thick, which is why scrapbook paper works really well.  For the lids, I used a thin paper, and it didn't work as well.

Instead of me explaining to you how to do this, it'd be easier for you to watch the video that I watched... here you go:

DIY Dry Erase Calendar

I love pinterest! So much inspiration, good ideas, and cheap projects to keep me busy!  This was one idea I got that was completely free for me!

What you'll need:

Paint chips (free at any home improvement store) - You'll need 4-5 strips with multiple colors..

An old frame (I used a 12x12 that I had laying around the house)

Scrapbook Paper

Adhesive (tape, glue, etc.)

Dry Erase Marker

I cut the chips to 1.5" squares, lined them all up, taped them down, and voila... a calendar!  I'm using mine for our monthly dinner menu and it matches the colors in our kitchen.
