I keep losing my ear buds because I have nowhere specific to put them after using them at night and had two Claire's containers from some new nose jewellery I got a few weeks back and decided to put them to good use. Enjoy!

Peel off all stickers, take the cushion out.
Make sure you leave it as smooth as possible so that the washi tape has no bubbles.
This is the "Mermaid Splash" washi tape set from HobbyCraft that I used.
Take your design of choice and wrap it around the front of your container, so it looks like a frame. NOT PICTURED: Before pressing the tape on the front, I took some scissors and cut the excess corners out so when folded, there weren't any bumps.
My first one had a mermaid print frame :3
I screwed up this one, which was my first one, so I'll just explain with the next one.
Optional, but I thought it'd be a good idea, since I have a bit of trouble opening the packets. I made the flaps by cutting around 4-5cm for each strand and just making pointy ribbons out of them.
Insert the ribbon thingy through the whole and secure it with tape. I also did this to close up the whole so that it was completely shut off.
Bend it back and secure it with another piece of tape on the inside.
Repeat on the back.
I forgot to take a pic of this step, so here's one of the washi tape I used, bought it at Hobbycraft. So what you want to do, is take your tape that you want as background and line both the inside and back of the bottom of the container.
