Covered Boxes

My mom gave me a roll of vintage foil wrapping paper.  I didn't want to use it for just wrapping any old present, so I've been hanging on to it for a bit.  I don't know why it finally hit me to use it to cover some old gift boxes, but that's what I did and I love them so!

Sorry for the quality of some of these photos, I was doing this at night.  I had trouble getting some of the inside flaps to stick:

I used some tape, which isn't ideal, but it just wouldn't stick down.  The end result, though, is beauteous:

I was so inspired that I dug out two more gift boxes and covered them, as well. 

The outer layers of the wrapping paper had some holes, but I was able to squeeze a lid out of some anyway:

This one stuck just fine on those inner flaps.  I don't know what I was doing wrong that first time.  Maybe I slathered on too much ModPodge?

My sister-in-law sent some fun paper for Christmas, so I wanted to try using some of that on one of these lids.  I'm pretty convinced that she sent vintage wallpaper, but that has yet to be confirmed.  I had a little trouble on the corners with that paper:

And here they are...So much fun!
