Magic Box
• Materials
1 large shoe box
1 small shoe box
Sticky tape
Ruler
Scissors
Marking pen
PVA glue
Green color sticky back plastic
“Good luck” stuff
• Instructions
Tape the ends of the boxes closed.
Cut the top off the small box
Use a marker pen and a ruler to draw a line along one long and two short edges of the large box
Cut along the lines you just drew carefully to make a hinged lid on the large box
Flip the large box over and repeat the process, but make sure that the hinged lid is on the opposite edge of the large box
Tape or glue the small box to the inside of one of the hinged lids. (The opened top of the small box must face where the lid is hinged. So that when the lid is opened the closed back faces up the free end)
Cover the entire box with the green sticky back plastic. Cut two strips of the plastic to make tabs and fix the tabs to the outside edge of the lids. Fold the tabs in half and fix them to the inside edge.
Put the “good luck” stuff you have found inside of the smaller box
Just keep in mind that these are only a few of the shoe box crafts that you can choose from, there are still plenty of other crafts that are available. The best places to find shoe box craft ideas are on the Internet or in crafting magazines.
Dried Flower Sachet
• Materials
Flowers
String
Felt
Glue
Lace material
Piece of lace
Perfume
• Instructions
Dry the flowers (make sure that flowers are dry to the touch)
Cut out the felt and lace material into whatever shape you want
Put glue around the edge of your felt shape, be sure to leave a small section without glue (for stuffing in the dried flowers)
Place the lace shape on the glue. Make sure that the edges match up as best you can. Set aside to allow the glue to dry
Once everything is dry carefully stick the petals of the dried flowers into the opening on your lace and felt shape. Once it is full you want to glue the opening shut.
Put a dab of glue on the edge of your shape on the lace side and stick the edge of the piece of lace onto the glue. Set it aside to dry
Once the glue is dry put a small amount of perfume on the back of your felt and you are done
