Burlap covered boxes

I needed some custom bins to fit into the custom mud room locker set up my talented hubby built.  Rather than shop and measure and shop and measure and then pay a lot of money, I decided to just make some.  I saved some Costco wipes boxes.  I just had to cut the top off and they were a perfect fit.
 
I covered the boxes with this shelf liner contac  paper so the blue wouldn't show through.


 Next, I busted out the ever dependable Mod Podge (mine is from KD craft from like 12 years ago; apparently it will last forever!)  I just cut some burlap to size,  wrapped and glued until the box was covered.
 Then I added some knobs we had laying around that came as extra's for a dresser.  They were white, so I just painted them a dark brown to match the stain of the wood and hot glued them to the center.  Cheap, functional, and cute!
 

 See how the shoes are all straight and not in big piles?  This is not what it usually looks like.  There are kids using it after all,  I straighten it up every now and then : )
