Hey all, today I am making a box to hold my dryer sheets. It's a simple little project that is low on cost and high on style. This is a fun to do and easy project. You can use your box to hold so many things.
Supplies used: Whitman's Sample Box
Craft knife
Glue Stick
E6000 Glue
Decorative papers
Paper Cutter or Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
1. Gather supplies (eat chocolates out of box!)
2. Carefully cut around 3 sides of the top of the box to make a hinged lid. Just put your knife in the folded crease of the lid. A sharp knife will make this easy. Make sure to protect any surface you are working on. Maybe put a cutting board under it.
3. Glue the Top of the box to the bottom of the
box. I used my craft glue for this. But any glue will work! Just put the glue all over the sides and then put the box together, press the sides together as the glue dries. You could use some paper clips or paper clamps for this step. I just used my fingers.
4. Measure top and sides of box. Cut Craft paper to fit. I used a paper cutter, but you can also mark your paper on the back with a ruler and pencil and then use scissors to cut it. I measured just inside of the gold trim on the box. Glue paper to the top and 4 sides of the box on the outside.
5. I used E-6000 glue to glue a little bead to the lid for a knob.
The finished Box! Doesn't it look great!
