Paper Castle

I’m still on a foam board kick.  This time I’ve repurposed a foam board project from a couple of years back.

When I look at this now, it’s kind of funny.  I thought I had a lot of punches and needed a special storage unit for my wealth of punches.  All 21 of them!  Isn’t THAT hilarious?!  ROFL!!!

I made this out of foam board I did manage to fill it up in no time at all, and ended up having to build a bigger and better punch rack.  I still do not have a bazillion punches, but I’m workin’ on it.

So, I’ve had the empty rack sitting around for a couple of months and I’ve been thinking about what to do with it.  It’s still solid and useable for something, but what, I didn’t know.  I tried using it as open shelving, but the size of the holes were severely limiting.

Finally the light bulb went off!  I’d make boxes and make them all pretty and put stuff in them!!

So, 45 boxes and 2 days later, this is what I have come up with . . .

Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to come up with 45 different ways of embellishing a drawer front?!  O . . . M . . . G!!!! Painful!  I started out really over thinking and over planning and quickly realized this could take the rest of the year.  So, I stopped worrying about “matchy matchy” and pulled out my scraps drawer and literally reached in blindly and pulled out papers and used whatever my hand found for each drawer. 

Here’s some closer up pictures . . .

So, in the end, this non punch rack has become a handy little cabinet that can store all sorts of things within arms reach.

Amazing what you can do with foam board huh?

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
