Continuing my great tidy-up! I love mod podge! A new discovery for me, and the art shop behind my house sells it ^squeak of joy^
Tip: Use boxes that have quite loose fitting tops, as you need to allow for 2 layers of denim after covering the box and lid.

Those look fantastic, it's amazing to think they're DIY. I could imagine paying loads for these in a shop.

Wow! I love this! I keep my small fabric pieces in a dull shoe box which could use some decoration : )
Did you glue the denim on the boxes with mod podge? Or with other glue?

very cool. I have tons of jeans that are too big for me now and tons of boxes full of random crap. Thanks for the project!

I used PVA school glue to glue the denim as it is much cheaper than mod podge and it took quite a lot.
