Crafting on the cheap

Being as I'm currently unemployed I'm having to find creative ways to decorate the new house.  The guest room, which remains a work in progress, is in desperate need of some wall art.  As I mentioned earlier I'm going with a bit of a country/shabby chic look.  Here's what I was able to come up with using craft supplies I had on hand.

Supplies
Scrapbook paper (I used "Hello Beautiful" Ciao Bella Stack)
Cardboard box lids (mine are from old Christmas card boxes)
scrapbook tape
scissors

I cut the paper to cover the boxes and adhered them using scrapbook tape.  I also cut out some of the paper decorations from the scrapbook paper stack and layered them.  I then cut slits in the top of the box and threaded ribbon through, tying in a knot at the back.
