Dress up any box into a stylish storage show piece!

With the demands we face each day every small expense can start to add up.

When faced with the question, "Do I put gas in my car or should I buy the new file box for my office?"

I am not saying, don't skimp on your organizing supplies, just start thinking outside the box rather than what to put in.

Here are a few everyday items you can turn into beautiful stylish organizing storage with a twist...

Dress up a plain box with some fabric/paper and glue. Simply pick a piece of fabric/paper that will cover the box completely (check out this step by step). You can even dress it up with a little ribbon trim.... With a cutting tool and some glue you can turn a plain box into a beautiful (and stylish) storage container for next to nothing.

• Plain cardboard file boxes can be used as open storage for files, magazines or toys
  

• Shoe boxes can be used as open storage for remotes and small items, or with a cover for photo storage
  

• Cereal boxes are great for magazines or paperwork. Simply cut off the top (on an angle) and line up on a shelf.
