Default Frappacino box

I tried to cover a frappacino box but it looks like a 2 yr old did it. What am I doing wrong??? I am using really sharp pointed Fiskar scissors. Do you sand the edges after you cut?? Help!! I want to make these for Teacher gifts for Christmas. I had a bunch of people save me the bottles and the kitchen at the hospital I work at saved me the boxes. Just love how they look online. Just not mine. Kathy Fulk--stampnkat

I only put paper on the 4 sides and I sponged ink on the top and edges.

I spray painted mine gold first, then cut paper to fit bottom, worked like a charm!

you can sand the edges, then ink them w/ inkpads in one of the colors of your patterned paper. distress the edges, so it will look like it is supposed to be distressed, and not perfectly straight edged.
