. . . Magnetic Box Tops Holder . . .

I don't know about you but in our house we collect Box Tops for my son's school.  I always have a pile of them lying around and I hate clutter so this has always annoyed me.  When I was sending a bunch of them in to school with him last week I had a light bulb moment that I just needed to have a  container to store them in so they aren't in my way or cluttering up a drawer.  I went to my assortment of containers and found that this empty Crystal Light container that was PERFECT!

I used a little Vera Bradley wrapping paper, spray adhesive, washi tape and baker's twine, and attached two heavy duty magnets to the back of the container using E6000 glue and I was in business!  It turned out great and now all I do is drop the Box Tops in and send them in to the school when the container fills up.  Love it!

You will need:
Empty container (Crystal Light containers work perfectly)
Wrapping Paper or any paper to wrap around your container
Spray Adhesive
Washi Tape
Baker's Twine or Ribbon
A label
Heavy Duty Magnets
E6000 Glue

 • Gather your supplies
• Spray your paper with spray adhesive then wrap tightly around your empty container
• Let the adhesive dry for a bit 
• Add the washi tape at the top and bottom of your container 

• I mainly used the washi tape to cover my uneven edges of the wrapping paper but as it turned out I really liked the accent it provided 
• Print a label or write a label out 
• Stick the label to the front of your container and wrap a little Baker's Twine around the top and tie it in a bow for a decorative touch
• Turn the container over and use your E6000 glue to adhere two heavy duty magnets to the back.  Let these dry completely before using


Perfect!



easy peasy!



love it!
