How to do it:
- First, decide how you want your boxes to be laid out in the drawer. Try a few different ways to see which layout you prefer.
- Cut the tops of the boxes if necessary in order to fit snugly in the drawer. Use a ruler to measure the height of the drawer to give you a guide.
- Glue and wrap the boxes in the paper – or if you want, you can paint them – decorate however, you want!
- You can wrap the inside of the boxes if you want by cutting thin strips of paper and pushing them into the box, using a pencil with an eraser to push into the folds of the corners.
- Place back in your drawer and enjoy!
