This box was still sturdy, but, well, OK, it looks kind of scruffy.
Using two sheets of zebra duct tape and just a little red...
Goodbye, Scruffy! Hello, Snazzy!
Sticking square duct tape on a square box is pretty simple. I did not worry about the ends.
One corner of the box has a ding, AND the zebra wasn't quite big enough for the whole top. It needs a little color anyway. So, I added a zip of red!
Here's my gift! It hopped right into the box with some red tissue paper and a couple of candy canes! Hello, Snazzy!
Happy Wrapping! ;-) -Marci
I love this post Marci! I would have never thought to dress up a box with duct tape! It looks so elegant...not to mention it matches that cup perfectly! Sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea!

My husband is a handyman. . .hmmmm, I have blue painter's tape and gray duct tape. I feel so "yesterday."
ReplyDeleteHello, Tami- Blue is so trendy with black right now... What if you used blue painter's tape with black electrical tape? I think it would be fun to alternate the two tapes and have fun stripes! Can I come over? I don't have either of those tapes! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
DeleteLove the idea! Using "old" boxes can be a great way of wrapping things if you have the right ideas! =)

So clever and it came out just amazing! Thanks for sharing on We Made That! (oh and you are also making me a huge fan of Zebra print!)
