Guess What I Made It Out Of!!!

 I'm officially jumping on the washi tape bandwagon! 

I recently saw this post from Kelly at Live, Laugh, Rowe where she covered paper mache boxes with washi tape to make cute little gift boxes. I pinned the post, knowing that I wanted to borrow the idea. 

Being the cheap thirfty crafter that I am, I came up to an alternative to the paper mache boxes that sell at Michael's for $1. 

I bought these file folders at the dollar store. Than I came home and cut box shapes out of them with my Silhouette machine, and made them into boxes. 

Than I used washi tape to cover my boxes and make them pretty! 

These cute little boxes are perfect for little gifts. All I'd have to do is stick a bow on top (maybe even one of my scrap paper bows) and I have the cutest, easiest gift wrap! 

 The best part is that you'd never guess that these boxes were made out of dollar store file folders! 

(I mean, if I hadn't told you.) 

Have you made anything using waship tape?
