The other day, my husband came home with two of these butt-ugly lunch boxes from some work event. They are perfect for the kids to stick toys in or to bring a lunch on an outing (duh).
I decided to spruce them up a bit and cover up the text. I made a stencil of the indentation on the box, then cut some scrapbook paper to stick on there. I used Mod Podge and put a layer underneath, smoothed my paper onto the glue, then let it dry. After I let it dry for a minute, I added the kids' names with some rub-ons. Then I put another light coat of Mod Podge on top.
Voila! Personalized old-school lunch boxes. (They aren't as cool as my old Shirt Tales lunch box, but they'll do!)
Shirt Tales! I didn't know anyone else watched that.
ReplyDeleteI think these are WAY cooler. Cute idea!
