This is a great way to recycle boxes and make great gift bags while you are at it. I love to fill these with goodies and give then out at the holidays. They make great gifts for teachers, co-workers,babysitters, etc.
Supplies:
Empty Cardboard box
Modge Podge
Foam Paint Brush
Glitter
Clear Acrylic Spray
Fur/Trim
Hole Puncher
Wire
Beads
Directions;
1. Cut box to the size you want.
2. Brush Modge Podge over one side of box and then poor glitter over the glued area.
3. Repeat this on all four sides and bottom.
4. Let it dry over night.
5. Spray with several coats of acrylic spray. Let each coat dry before adding the next coat..
6. Punch holes in each side of box for handle.
7. Cut wire to size wanted for handle and add beads.
8. Attach handle to box.
9. Glue on trim to top of box - I used a glue gun.
Fill with goodies and you are ready to give this gift to that special person.
*** Sometimes I paint the box first with the same color paint as the glitter. This helps to make sure you can't see the print on the box!!!!
