Turn Flat-Rate Postage Boxes into Storage!

What a cool idea this is! I would LOVE to say that I came up with this but Sadly I did not. I put my own twist and creative mark on it. We are going to turn FREE LARGE Flat Rate Boxes from the US Postal Service into magazine decor holders. Bon Temps Beignet 

A lot like the woman who wrote this blog I too have an IKEA Book shelf turned into a TV Stand and for a long time I had no idea what to do with it. I was even thinking of giving it away! Now that we are in our new house and a LOW budget, that is not an option. I don't have enough Books to fill the darn shelf's and as you can see its a little cluttered. Everyone who knows me knows I HATE clutter but something I kinda give up on and I live with the clutter until I am seriously sick of it! Well I'm to that point. So I have found a solution! YAY! Lets get started!!! 
Seriously I am a little embarrassed, Its all bad!! 
Nothing about this picture is good... Lets fix it!







Large Flat Rate boxes. Box them up and tape them, inside and out.
Cut a piece out of the box and then tape or glue Scrap booking paper onto the front of the box
You may also... Spray paint the boxes, but in the end, i found it to be ALOT more work then just leaving it how it was taped.





Total i believe all 7 boxes were about .50 cents! Yahoo! An amazing savings right there!
