Turn a leftover box into a beautiful package for your bath salts and bath teas. This project teaches a nice way to turn an old box into something useful. It also makes a beautiful package for Mother's Day gifts.

Supplies Needed

A clean box or other cardboard container. I recommend that you use a round box for this project. This way you have no square edges to deal with. (For this project I recycled a round tea box; however, any type of clean cardboard container (with a lid) will do.

Paintbrush

Enough fabric or wide ribbon to cover the box.

One bottle of Modge-Podge® (Modge-Podge® is a sealant and glue sold at craft shops).

One roll of double sided tape.

One roll of very thin ribbon (1/4" wide or less)

Directions

Step 1: Cut the fabric (or ribbon) to fit around the box.

Step 2: Cover the sides of the container with the fabric (or ribbon). Use double-sided sticky tape to hold it in place.

Step 3: Using your paintbrush, paint over the fabric with one layer of Modge-Podge®.

Step 4: Apply the thin ribbon around the edges of the container. Use thin-strips of double sided sticky tape to hold ribbon in place.

Step 5: Using your paintbrush, paint over the entire container with several layers of Modge-Podge®. Allow each layer of Modge-Podge® to dry before applying another layer.

Here are some things that you can fill your box with:
-bath salts
-bath tea
-bath fizzies
-small bars of soap
