This Monday we decided to makeover a box. I know houses out of boxes are pretty standard, but I'm pretty happy with the little porch we were able to make for our house. This was a bathroom vanity box and in it were these nice thick pieces of cardboard with supports in just the right place to make them hold a 90 degree angle very nicely. We used them to create the roof for the house and porch and then I had saved some of the nice thick rolls that you get when you purchase the fabric that has to be ordered.
I planned to spend time painting it a pretty pink color with my daughter one afternoon, but before we got to that, she wanted to "decorate" it. The decoration process turned into a week long, multiple friend project and it was so fun to see all their ideas come to life. I just left the craft supplies out for a week (until they started making their way into other rooms) and let the kids decorate whenever they got the inclination. 8 kids worked on decorating this bad boy and I think it's just fantastic!
We plan to finish the mailbox, number plate, and flower boxes in the near future.
Getting Crafty!
