I have been on the look out for storage boxes/baskets that would fit into our awesome Mud Room Unit that we built. I haven't found anything that is the right size. I happily discovered that the boxes that milk comes in from Costco are just about right.
To make them into pretty storage boxes:
Cut off the flaps (I used a box cutter)
Mod Podge scrapbook paper onto the front (a 12x12" fit the width perfectly and I just folded the excess over the top)
Add a layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper to protect it
Note: I tried to smooth the paper out as I put it on the box. I did find that when I added the Mod Podge on top, the paper bubbled up. It did flatten back out as it dried.
I just put paper on the front since that is all that will normally be seen, but you could do all the sides if you wanted.
$0.30 storage boxes!!! Wahoo!!!
