Start pasting colorful papers on to the box. You can measure and cut and
paste or paste then trim. The first way is much clean though!! I was so enthusiastic that i pasted and then trimmed the paper. But hey. it wasn’t too bad. :)

I applied modpodge over the paper as well, after it dried to make sure the paper does not get tampered or torn.
Now punch hole (on the marked spot) and position your eyelet. Finally, close the other side using setter. I punched holes on both the sides so that I could store more!! :)

Now place your thread spool or ribbon and check if it goes through freely.

Since i had uneven edges, I covered them using purple washi tape and it
just changed the way of the box how it looked. I fell in love with the colors!!
