Card Box

Materials
  • set of three paper mache nesting boxes
  • wrapping paper
  • stapler or glue
  • ribbon
  • pearl "ribbon"
  • glitter cardstock
  • bow
Instructions
1.  Wrap the boxes with the wrapping paper; I did the tops and bottom separately to make it easier to assemble later on.
2.  Cut holes in the bottom of the smallest box, the top and bottom of the middle box, and the top of the biggest box. Also cut a slit in the top of the smallest box that is big enough to fit a card through it.
3.  I stapled the boxes together from the inside so that you couldn't see anything. Glue would work, too, so long as you use something really good.
4.  Wrap and glue the ribbon around the boxes, wherever you put it is up to you.
5.  Hot glue the pearl ribbon around the boxes (where they meet).
6.  I printed out the word "Cards" backwards and glued it to the back of the glitter cardstock. I cut the letters out so that they read the correct way and then glued them onto the smallest box.
7.  I put the bow on top of the smallest box, behind the slot for the cards.
