The DreamBox is a stunning piece of furniture that is not only practical, but is also a reflection of the user’s personality—from the products placed inside to even the way the DreamBox looks.
While many creators prefer to keep their InView Totes clear and visible (we don't blame you), others like to decorate them to match their crafting space or add a little flair. If you'd like to give it a try, read on. The best part? They are easily removable if you change your mind.

NOTE: If you are setting up your DreamBox for the first time, we recommend leaving your InView Totes clear until you orient yourself with the layout of your DreamBox. If and when you decide to add decorative tote covers you can also make labels using vinyl or other materials to go on the outside.
Step 1: Decide on the colors and style
The design of your DreamBox should help you feel inspired and creative. Take some time to think about what that means for you, as it is a little different for everyone. We added some tips below to help you get started.

Get inspired. Head to our page on Pinterest or join the Create Room Family Facebook group to see what other creators have done. Walking around the craft store or looking at paper patterns online is another fun way to get inspired.
Do some research. Did you know that colors can impact your mood? How do you want your space to make you feel? This article and others can provide helpful insights.
Visualize the space. Get paint swatches and plan out a color scheme and/or use these PDF DreamBox layouts to map it all out.

Step 2: Cut out by machine or hand
You can use a variety of materials as your tote covers, but we recommend 60 - 130lb cardstock because it is more durable. If you are using a thinner, more decorative piece of paper, you can glue it to a piece of cardstock to keep it more stable. Download the SVG files below.

InView Tote Cover Files
Simply double-click on the image of each InView tote size below to access the SVG file and download it. (For the Large InView Totes, make sure to use paper or cardstock longer than 12.5 inches to account for the full width of the Totes.)
Step 3: Add covers to your InView totes
When you are ready to add your tote covers, we recommend placing them on the inside edge of your tote, so they won’t fall onto the floor if they come unstuck.
There are several options to adhere the covers that are not permanent including glue dots, double sided tape, or restickable glue.

If you are worried about tearing your paper if you want to take your covers out, and want to go the extra mile, you can laminate your covers for easy removal, plus they will last longer.

Don’t forget that you can always change your mind. Switch those tote covers out every couple of months to keep things exciting!
