When Munchkin found out that a young friend of hers was going to have a birthday, she thought about what would be a cool gift for him. She decided to make him something out of polymer clay. She ended up making a truck and a shark, but she didn’t have the perfect container to put her gifts in. We found some small empty boxes and pulled out the scrapbook paper. After we took apart the boxes, she picked out paper that would go with the gifts, and we carefully traced the box shape onto the paper. We taped the paper onto the box and then reassembled the boxes. This was the end result.
Munchkin was really pleased with how these turned out, so we decided to make another one for an upcoming birthday of another friend. This time we took this box:
And turned it into this box with just a little tape and some scrapbook paper…
Reusing old boxes and making handcrafted, personalized gift boxes works for us!

Munchkin has done an excellent job of making these boxes, and reusing items usefully. They look great!
Have a wonderful week,
Love and blessings, Jillian ♥
