I am making some larger ones from priority mailboxes since I have them extra, and they'll hold magazines I also have some vinyl wall covering left over so I am using that so they wipe down, and a spray on glue since the wallpaper is heavy. Thanks for the great idea :)

Great idea, just saw it from 2 other contributors. Great minds do think alike!! Oh, I found at Home Depot contact paper that looks like black leather! Oh, yeah, so cool. Could make it look like an attorney's office with all those leather-bound books!
Just joined the site today and great ideas are all over the place. I'm sure I'll be here all the time now!

Hi tbcross,

good to hear you like it =)

Thanks for your ideas, too!
+ Vinyl (wipe-able) sounds perfect.
+ Mailboxes will probably make much more stable ones than these.

I'm looking forward to seeing your results! ^^
