Next, I want to show you what I made yesterday! I started off with a priority box that I was just about to put in the recycling bin. I figured . . . why not make a vertical paper holder. So, I cut in like this.
Then I decorated it! I used papers that I've had for a LONG time. It required a lot of paper piecing, but I think it turned out awesome!
I added a flower and a button to the front, because that's the only part I'll be able to see when it sits in my bookshelf. This was fun to make, and I love the way it turned out!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! It's super HOT and HUMID here today. I will be inside! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!

I love the paper holder, such a clever idea!! I'm going to save up some of my boxes and try this. Love it!
What a wonderful idea. Looks fantastic.
OMGosh! Carol, you are a genius! I have such a hard time wasting those boxes - but the pile up is becoming unsightly. I always think I'm going to need them. LOL! This is the perfect solution - waste not, want not.
Carol - I'm planning to case this puppy. :D
