What you need:

  • A shoe box, scissors & glue
  • Wrapping paper, sticky tape
  • 1 x A4 Sheet of thin cardboard (for dividers)
  • 1 x A4 Sheet of colored paper (to make decorations)
  • A pair of toggle/shaky eyes. Buy some or Print eyes for free.
  • Some cord for the handles

Let's make it...


1.
A shoe box with a lid is ideal.

Tip: Find a shoe box that is big enough to fit A4 size paper in - once your craft box is completed you will be able to fit these sheets of paper on top of the stationary in the craft box.

5.
Add the handles by making two holes on either side of the shoe box and threading the cord through the holes and knotting the ends on the inside. If you can't find cord, use shoe laces.

Make the dividers for the inside of the box.

Tip: Decide what you are going to put into the box so that you can make the dividers according to the sizes of your stationary!
