I literally jumped around the room after FH and I were done w/ the card box! I'm so in love with it. We're going to wait for the week before to seal the tops of each box and also to glue the ribbon around, but otherwise it's pretty set. YAY! Best way to spend our Saturday night

This one shows the exact color more:

Re: CHECK! DIY Card Box!

Thanks girls!!!

I bought the boxes at Michaels, the fabric at Joanne's and then used a spray adhesive to put the fabric onto the boxes. I cut the hole out on the box first, and then I added ribbon on top of the fabric (on the bottom layer). I bought all ribbons at Michael's also, and the buckles from e-Bay. I'd definately recommend having a second set of hands for this project - but it's so rewarding once it's done!

For the spray adhesive I used Elmer's - it worked really good and stuck it on perfectly!
