Recycled Box into Ephemera Storage Boxes Pt2

[@shellyt9620]

This was one of the BEST tutorials. Thank you so much. I’ve reluctantly let go of some wonderful boxes, 😩 I’ve saved this because I love the idea of repurposing and we can never have enough storage. 😂 Thanks for sharing the steps so precisely.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome Shelly

[@lisaminglet7229]

Each time I watch you illustrate how to cover boxed I learn something new. Thank you for your patience in working through processes. It is fabulous to watch and learn.

[@annettedover3602]

You’d never know they were a recycled detergent box. Great job!

[@lynnlebedda1648]

Loved this! I have so many boxes I can cover.Lots of cigar boxes I have saved,cookie boxes,candy boxes and on and on.I knew I would find a craft for these.I love pretty boxes. Thank-you as always.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Just be aware if the box has a lid and you cover the whole box completely the lid may not fit, in that instance put the lid on the undecorated box, draw a line around the box where the lid comes down the side of the box and only cover up to the line. Above that line you may have to paint but again only a thin layer of paint so that the lid still fits.

[@evelynrauseo467]

What a fabulous project and process! You are wonderful at teaching and explaining what could be complicated concepts. TFS. 🙏🥰

[@dh7217]

Your studio must be a happy place to enter with all the organized splashes of color. Loved the 2 part video and all it contained. And I did like the repetition reduced although I would watch it all if you offered it. Can't imagine how long it takes to edit. I am not even patient enough to learn basic editing for a short home video.😅 Thank you kind artist for sharing.❤ Mean Nana

[@keener57]

What a joyful project! I have been using recycled boxes for years. Now with your guidance I will be able to “crank it up”. Thanks Ceri! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun!

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Beautiful! Love your precision & the boxes look absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing this.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@JudiH-ig6uu]

Ceri, love your process for lining and covering boxes. Reminds me of years ago when I covered shoe boxes with fabric to make "treasure boxes" for my kids and their friends. 😁

[@CeriGriffiths]

Love that!

[@lindarickard9202]

Hello from Colorado! I fell upon your videos about a week ago and I am hooked! I try to watch at least 3 each evening trying to “catch up”. This one reminded me of years ago whenever I finished wallpapering a room, I would use leftover scraps to cover boxes to match the room. I don’t wallpaper anymore so I love your idea of using your own paper (lovely by the way!). Thanks for sharing-looking forward to watching many more.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mafish7962]

Great project! Tfs, Laura ❤

[@jocelynharvey5558]

I loved it so much, when I heard you say adear not add hear. The non pronounced h is so wonderful. Good memories of British speaking people. Thank you.

[@em......]

Loved this so much. I watched both videos together. I could watch you cover boxes and gelli paint for hours longer haha.

[@sandrawilliams7176]

I just love this project. I'm not sure if it might just be how much I love that paper.

[@rfowler6039]

Well done! Love them 💕

[@susanviney3297]

Beautiful papers Ceri. The boxes are Fab.

[@vanessabroad4051]

Brilliant project and very inspiring. I remember covering my school books with scrap wall paper - before the days of adhesive book cover - now I am showing my age!🤣

[@judyprice2001]

Yes! But for me it was paper bags, which is what we got our groceries in at that time. That left plenty for doodling and such. I'm really going to miss no paper OR plastic bags for groceries! Both have come in quite handy for home needs.

[@vanessabroad4051]

@@judyprice2001 yes indeed.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yes it was brown paper from bags for me as well.

[@theresaharris3538]

Great job! I love your work. I’ve seen other people flange out their corners and in that way, they are able to cover those pesky corners. Please continue to amaze us with your wonderful creativity!

[@marcelareichle3653]

Buenas noches Ceri, precioso trabajo, primero pintar, cortar exacto y, luego recubrir esa caja. Muy lindo su proyecto, Marcela 🌹🤗🙋👍👍👍

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Marcela

[@marilynmccormick3731]

Thank you. This was very interesting and educational. I save the bottom of Velveta cheese boxes which are sturdy and I use them for a variety of storage in and on my desk and craft area. I don't use much of that cheese, but over the years I've collected quite a few. I keep my craft eyes open for upcycling.

[@dmariebella6309]

What an amazing idea! I've just finished watching some of your older room tours so I decided to revamp my craft room. Now with this video I know how to store my tags etc... I honestly prefer your style of videos, because you don't fast forward the process.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@juliasmith5646]

Nicely done, Ceri! Now if I could just find a box as perfectly sized as you did! Your art is what really makes this project beautiful and your process is clearly well tested! Much love, Julia ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@julielakey594]

Those turned out absolutely gorgeous. Love them. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@brendaclark2703]

Hello dear Ceri, gorgeous boxes! Thank you for such a complete and informative tutorial on your process. I so appreciate you! Thanks so very much for sharing ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@donnaswisher8408]

Hi Ceri. Lovely boxes. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞

[@jennifermackinnon7870]

Love this project Ceri!

[@karver3440]

The boxes are beautiful, the papers are great on them☺

[@brendacooper7944]

I love the attention you took to getting a precise fit. Your OCD makes you great at what you do. It would be nice to cover more of the pod boxes for your other ephemera so they would match. Just add a label on the outside so you know what is in each box. One video I watched, they had a bigger box & fitted the smaller boxes inside. That way, you had everything you needed at arms length. Thank you for explaining every step in detail.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Great ideas Brenda thank you

[@gillianrobson2859]

I’ve been eying up those sort of boxes for months now…. Thank you!

[@robinsutton4952]

Great project. Great way to recycle. Many years ago I had spent a good portion of the night covering a paper mache heart. The next morning it was missing. At some point during the night our dog had taken it from the dining table and I found it in his “chew” chair. The heart was never the same again, no matter how hard I tried to recover it. I guess the point of story is you can cover rounded objects, with patience. Have a great day and thanks for sharing.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful story

[@keenDesign64]

PERFECTO my dear xx You are such a wonderful teacher dear friend xx The colours look great and the boxes will look beautiful in your studio xxx

[@prettyrichgirl2007]

This was a GREAT idea. You are very good at what you do. You are a great artist...just love the beautiful boxes. Thank you for the share.

[@phylisfitz4411]

Hi Ceri. I'm loving these dual videos because I love watching you create! The papers and boxes are awesome. Tfs

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much!

[@Maria-k0]

Thanks for showing a great way to cover a box with your lovely art work. Next project for me cover one of the many shoeboxes I have collected 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun.

[@DianeSavage-s5d]

Your boxes turned out beautifully! Your papers are gorgeous! I tend to hold on to boxes & have covered a few - none half as lovely as yours though. Thank you for these two wonderful videos.

[@susanasilva2737]

We can do the same with a big cereal box. Just need to cut in half and glue the extremities. That's an excellent idea, Ceri ❤

[@judyprice2001]

Using cereal boxes is an excellent idea as well! Thanks for the light bulb! 💡

[@CeriGriffiths]

Good idea Susan

[@debra_marie_creates4380]

Beautiful papers and freshen it up project! Ceri, you are a wonderful teacher! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@artcuriousbymnw]

Love hour meticulous you are in the construction of the boxes. They turn out great Ceri❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ginamcdonald7854]

I’ve saved a few boxes that I use for storage, however, I haven’t covered them and they’re just sitting on my shelf. I’m now going to make them beautiful by covering them thanks to your wonderful video!

[@yonwife5879]

That was lovely, thank you. The wee felt sticky dots were an inspired idea!

[@purplecatperson5119]

I love the paper especially the cirles. Colors are yummy.😁

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much!

[@belindazimmer2107]

Fabulous upcycle project. Your designs on the cover papers are gorgeous too!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@cindyhenry1410]

“Measure once, Cuss twice” 😂😂 Your boxes are fab! I love upcycling! I’m working on soup cans for holding my pens, pencils, markers, crayons etc. They are round...I’ll let you know how it goes lol. TYFS! ❤️🦋💜

[@CeriGriffiths]

Cindy I’ve seen a few posts on covering cans and it seems like a great idea.

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Great storage boxes Ceri. Thanks for showing us how. 💕

[@jackiekeegan1678]

Great result. A lovely fresh look for storage.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@conniehoelscher4591]

Love love them. I am always covering boxes. I can’t get rid of a good box. lol it could be a problem for me hehe or not. The problem is I have a few boxes in the closet waiting for me if I need one and I just saved one yesterday to cover. Hehe love your paper you did. Sooo beautiful. Hugs from TX

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Ceri,, such a beautiful job, my pods come in a plastic container, you are a genius.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@melodylebeau2190]

How very nice, I enjoyed watching the process!

[@deannanderson2033]

Love the paper from previous video and I am always looking for ways to upcycle small boxes. Thank you for another great idea.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sarahday5861]

For your little corner gaps, if you used a strip of soft paper (maybe washi tape or fabric) to cover the outer edges and fold it around/in/over the corners, then cover with the decorative paper. Much like you did with the black strips inside. Those little gaps would drive me bonkers LOL. Fun boxes.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Good idea, thank you

[@caroltanzi29]

Ceri: very good looking. And of course, functional. C-GofG from California

[@MyDjturner]

Thanks Ceri, you have simplified this process for me. Now I need to find a box just the same here in Australia.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robinspencer9577]

These turned out great! Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@brant8642]

Im back, i went to part 1. I went over to PM Artist Group and you are right everybody is just awesome there. Nice work, love the paper design. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous

[@charlottebeseke5596]

You do beautiful precise work, as usual. I use only Kleenex boxes doubled and cover them all with the same paper to coordinate my whole craft room. I found several different kinds of storage shelving that hold the boxes neatly. My husband helped a little! Your boxes are neater but I must have at least 40-50 boxes plus some bigger, taller boxes I found at D.T.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wow that’s sounds great Charlotte

[@candicepetri2711]

Thank you again ceri. Im going to make and put a ephemera holder journal in this box this video was so helpful.

[@jkerr-bethedreamandthedrea4379]

Can't wait to make one!

[@keturahmckitterick9200]

Gorgeous, this gave me some ideas, thank you ❤

[@carolbain7904]

[@ceeclearly6840]

They turned out great!!

[@tammydayfl]

Awesome project. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@JennCadyFiddlyBits]

22:35 glue stick works too for giving more repositioning time on tape. Without a lot of white glue mess.

[@kellybenton9382]

Nice one Ceri! Thank you.

[@alisonmartin6101]

I love your art as well. ❤️These boxes are gorgeous. I’m almost inspired to try doing this myself ( except I’m all thumbs).

[@CeriGriffiths]

You can do it!

[@susanasilva2737]

They look wonderful. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@terrimcnamarajunkjournaler5069]

Awesome video.

[@barbaracabrera207]

Like how you painted inside corners with black paint. Great idea. I love that you always pay attention to the details. I think that makes for a much better, professional looking piece. I'm a detail person, too. I like how you used Score Board to make inside paper, folding, instead of separate pieces. I would NOT have thought of that. One great thing about watching videos prior to making somthing, is all the small details you wouldn't think of, that make the "making" easier & better. I didn't know they had such wide double-sided tape. *** QUESTION: Will the lid still fit on the bottom doing covering this way??? *** Looks GREAT!! Sorry for long comment!!! TFS! Austin TX USA

[@CeriGriffiths]

Barbara I haven’t tried the lid but I’d be surprised if it did fit as we’ve now added four layers of painted papers to the dimensions, if it did fit it would be very snug.

[@Nanakinsz]

Mister Ceri, they turned out GLORIOUS!! I'm sad my laundry pods don't come in a nice box now! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh no!

[@michelel3372]

I really like how these turned out, Ceri. And so neat to make something out of a used box. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

How did you transfer the pattern from the wallpaper?

[@CeriGriffiths]

The wallpaper was the embossed type so I just used it as a mark making tool a little like a very flexible stamp using acrylic paint.

[@susanfernandes7748]

I follow the rule: Measure thrice, cut twice I'm not the best at measuring :)
