Taking Care of My Peeps

When it came time to do my bathroom baskets, I'll hit up my local Dollarama. It's possibly one of my favourite places on earth. I stocked up on various toiletries for the guys and girls. I got two boxes (one a bit smaller for the guys, they don't need as much "stuff" as us girls) since I sort of hate traditional woven baskets. That's right. I said it. I don't like woven baskets. 

I got home and filled up my box. It looked.... boring.  

  
That big whisk lookin' thing is a scalp massager. Don't judge until you try. And when you try, your life will be changed ;)

What to do............ I went down to the basement and grabbed a roll of funky wrapping paper, emptied out my box and went to town! 

First, I centered my box on the pattern on the paper (I likely should have done this on a light table, but I didn't feel like dragging my Yudu out, so I just did my best with it).  I traced the bottom of the box. I cut out the rectangle a bit smaller than the tracing and then did a dryfit, trimming as needed.

When it fit correctly, I put some double sided tape in each corner and stuck it down.  

Refill and voila! Much prettier!

 
I'm really happy with the results, I'm even happier I had the perfect wrapping paper on hand. For those of you who are curious, here's a quick list of what's in my baskets (with a few items I still need to add):
