I found this idea on (of course) Pinterest, the original post is from here. There are no directions on the web page, but pretty much duh when you think about it.
You will need:
Fabric
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
White Paint
Paint Brush
Boxes
You may or may not need the paint. Most of my boxes were different colors and my fabric background was white and see through, so if you need to paint the boxes do that first.
I had pieces of fabric scraps left over from a quilt (place mates/table runner and hot pot pad) my grandma made for us. I decided to use these because I like having the fabric follow through the house. I also purchased a large (1/4 of a yard) for the bigger box. In the photos below you will notice that all the boxes are one fabric, I (okay, my grandma) is going to sew some of the pieces together to fit the boxes.
You will need show box tops of different sizes, or I used boxes that were about the height of a show box to (such as a jello box, sports candy can box VS gift box to) If you want large art you can use pizza boxes.
After painting the boxes (if needed) fit the fabric to each box. Cut the fabric so it hangs into the box lid and glue.
The corners were a little tricky, I did them different on each box.
Once you are done arrange them on the floor in the way you want them on the wall. I used thumb tacks to put them in. I had one that got a little warped from the paint and wouldn't stay on the thumb tack. I put 'glue dots' onto the thumb tacks and attached the box top on the tacks.
I didn't finish, but I really don't like things laying around so figured I would start it.
