If you caught the post for these printable recipe cards and patterned dividers, then you’re in luck because now you can pair them with this DIY recipe box makeover with wallpaper! As I mentioned in that post, I love having actual recipe cards to save my favorite recipes. I use Pinterest as a way to organize and find new recipes to try. Now, I finally have a cute recipe box to organize my printable recipe cards. Can you guess how I made it? OK fine, I gave it to you in the title…it’s removable wallpaper!

I have this thing with lemon prints…so I was really excited to find this lemon wallpaper sample! It was JUST the right size for the front of the box., making this a very quick recipe box makeover. I also have wallpaper leftover from my renter-friendly closet door makeover that I can’t wait to plan a project with now.

Since I’ve been cooking at home most nights, it’s really convenient to pull my favorite recipes from the DIY recipe box on my countertop. What pattern would you cover your recipe box with wallpaper?!

Step 1: Peel away the backing of the removable wallpaper. It’s usually easier to peel away only part of the backing to start.

Step 2: Carefully position the edge of the wallpaper with the bottom corner of the box. Peel away the remainder backing and press the wallpaper onto the box, using a ruler to scrape air bubbles.

There’s nothing more satisfying than writing out new recipe cards and organizing them into my recipe box. Plus, I have so much empty space in it that I still have to fill! Any favorite recipes? Share them below!

      Hi Hannah – Sorry, I don’t know of another way without a box. My only suggestion would be to check thrift stores or places like Craigslist for a box that will fit recipe cards.

      I found a recipe box at our thrift store. You definitely can find them. It’s a nice plastic one that I’m going to DIY up for a makeover. I know this post is from 2020 but β€¦πŸ˜Š

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β 
⁠
"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
