Dressing up Ikea Skubb boxes with ribbon & instant photo lightbox!

*Update – June 11, 2012 – I added cute little red and white scalloped tags to the boxes, see the bottom of the post for a picture!

I just have a very short post for you today.  I bought these white Skubb boxes from Ikea to store my scrapbooking goodies in and thought they were just a little “plain” so I wanted to do something to make them pop a little.  Thanks to my BFF for the idea, I bought some red and white polka dot (that’s my thing) ribbon and hot glued it on to the handles and voila!  In less than 3 minutes, my plain, boring white boxes are really cute!  Here are some before and after pictures:

Now I just need to find a way to make some labeled tags that will hang off the top of the handles.  Any ideas anyone?

P.S.  If you flip the box on its’ side, it makes a perfect small photo light box!

*June 11, 2012 – Update, I used my circle and lacey circle nestabilities to make little tags for the boxes.  I just took my cropadile and punched holes in the handles and the tags and used a brad to connect them together.  It was easy!

Here is a rare picture that my youngest son, Tyler let me take when he and my bff and I were out to lunch the other day.

He’s getting so big isn’t he?  Notice the little stache? lol

Have a great day everyone!
