Description:

There are literally hundreds of different boxes you could make. I created a pattern for a "deck of cards" box (poker size) so they'd fit my ATC's inside.

Lets make a box of any style except a matchbox (of course). As crazy and zany looking as possible.

Fill it with items that are the same colors as your box. Grab a box pattern from somewhere - check out Go Make Something.com or just create your own from a box that you have on hand. ie small mini cereal box size, deck of playing cards box, or just use your imagination.

Let's see how this goes. Your box can be hand painted, color, altered, stamped, covered in fabric or embellished - IT MUST BE ALTERED SOMEHOW if you do not make your own.

We should have at least 3 participants to make this a go.

NOTE: The box pictured is one that I made as a handmade bead carrier, from an empty pack of Orbit Gum. I used the Tutorial found on You Tube and posted it on my website.

I've been practicing making boxes for ATC's and Dotee's - I tore apart a box of the Poker size playing cards(for the ATC's) and a bandages box (for the Medium Size Dotee). They are perfect.

I'm also doing an inchies box made from a scotch tape roll refill box.
