Cheap, stylish storage boxes

I have stacks of photo boxes bought over the years to house various miscellany. They were $2 - $5 each, but because they were bought over time none of them really match. I wanted to use 4 or 5 of them in the closet in my home office for storing supplies, but I wanted them all to match.

My initial thought was to go buy new ones, but that would have cost me about $20. But then I got inspired walking through Target - why not cover them with matching wrapping paper?! I already had a can of spray adhesive, so for a $2.99 roll of paper I was able to reuse my existing boxes and achieve the goal of coordinated and fun looking storage. Here are some pictures:
