I have been wanting to do something to cover the hideous beige box that houses our doorbell in our hallway for quite some time now. At first I thought I would find a decorative box to hang over it but after looking for a little while, I decided that making my own would be much more fun and I could make it however I wanted it.

The whole project took me about an hour, plus an half hour to let the glued pieces set. I am really happy with how it came out. Here is the step-by-step of the project:
