Easy Sewing Box

I 've been wanting a sewing box for the longest and have seen some at stores that were a bit pricey for my taste. I mean come on, I'm just storing random sewing junk in it, not my first born or precious jewels. So... I decided to make my own.
I made this from a shoe box that had a full covering lid to the base but I cut it short. With lots of tape including duct tape to make the box sturdy, I then covered it with a layer of batting and then some material. The inside was covered with material as well with sections made and placed to make compartments. I found another box that fit pefectly inside to make a removable layer and covered it. ALL this was done with a glue gun. No sewing whatsoever.
 It's been of a lot of use but I plan to make another later. Not real thrilled with color choice, especially the outside fabric cover. I bought that fabric because it was on sale and knew it would come handy for some kind of project, and this was it, so I didn't really like it but it was kinda cute. I figured I would get creative with it. Besides, I didn't think this would turn out great as I thought it would being it was a trial and error kind of thing. So the next one should be spectacular!!

Thanks ladies! That thing is really a life saver, but as I stated before, I'm not liking the look of it so hopefully I will be able to get around to making a new one. Will post it when it's made reality.
