No Where to store Box

Last year for Christmas I got the ultimate gift... a karaoke machine <3 But, due to the lack of storage at our place it has sat on the floor of my room, where it is known to collect stuff on top.

With no where else to put it it has stayed there; but it always seemed to make the room look even more cluttered. So I decided to "cover" it up.

See how busy the box itself is? There's no way you can not see it. lol
And After...

With this quick easy fix it is now cute; which makes me want to look at it more; which then makes me want to bust out my machine <3

It was really easy to do; you just need:

Wrapping Paper
Scissors
Tape (I used regular Scotch tape but a clear packaging tape would hold best)

Just wrap it like you would a gift; only make sure to leave it so the box can still open. You might need to do some extra cutting and manipulating to accomplish this but just play around with it and remember that if you don't like how it came out you can always "open your present" and start again ;P

After you have it how you want it; if using packaging tape I recommend putting tape on all of the corners and edges so that the paper will last longer and not tear as easily (which I will do once I get more tape).
