Covered Metallic Boxes

Metallics are SO in right now. Or they were very recently. Whatever, I’m a busy girl. I can’t keep up with trends. I saw these lovely metallic boxes on Design*Sponge like a month ago and kept it unread in my Google reader until today, when I decided to emulate them.

So lazy. So hot. If I had been born with balls, I would not have them anymore because I would have sweated them off.

I stole this gorgeous wrapping paper from a bridal shower that I helped plan recently, and the entire party thought I was a weirdo. I’M A HOARDER ARTS AND CRAFTS ARRRGH!

Also I’m addicted to Payless so I have lots and lots of extra shoeboxes. And what are shoeboxes good for, if not storage? (Answer: holding shoes.)

I covered the box with the metallic wrapping paper. It took less time than I expected, but more time than wrapping an actual gift. Because real crafters use glue, not tape. I’m totally kidding, real crafters do what they want. FEMINISM!

Two boxes! Step one: You cut a hole in the box.

But don’t ever Step Two: You put your junk in that box. BECAUSE THAT’S YUCKY.
