New take on sweetie boxes for crafty kids!

pobby_2

I decided to take the sweetie box idea and adapt it to be craft boxes for ds (aged 4) and 2 of his friends. They all love making things and thought it would be ideal.

First snag .... couldn't get the **** labels off the woolworths boxes properly and didn't want to damage them ... so had the bright idea of personalising the boxes.

I am well pleased with them ... see pics below

By the way these are the first pics I've been brave enough to put on here so be gentle with me please

Bought all the stuff inside from pound shops, the works in little kits and took them apart to share between the 3 boxes. Worked out at about £4 each including boxes :T

Wow, I thnik they are fantastic I would love for my daughter to recieve one of these from someone, they look like so much thought and effort went into them. I think I will make one for my friend's little boy. Can I ask how much the little craft boxes in Woolies were? I hope I can get hold of one!

£1.99 so a real bargain :T

The personalisation was a bit of a faff but then I like that kind of thing as I'm quite into card-making. My dining room's covered in glitter now :rotfl:

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments :T you've made my day!

..with pleasure Shevs ...of course I would need to charge a little extra for my time and effort (in true MSE style :rotfl: ) ...only kidding you could make them easily yourself I'm sure
