DIY Project: Beach-themed Card Box

[Pash]

Beach-themed Card Box

Submitted by: TheaterDiva1

Materials:

• Plain cardboard box (make sure it's high enough to drop a decent-sized envelope in)
• Scissors / craft knife
• Primer
• White satin
• Off-white organza
• Seashells
• Hot glue gun

Instructions:

I started off with a plain cardboard hat box (from a craft store) and cut a slit in the lid (again, making sure it was big enough to fit most envelopes). Then I painted a couple of layers of primer on both the box and the lid. Once it was dry, I wrapped the box and lid (separately) in white satin, folded the edges inside and glued in place. Then I did the same with the organza to give it a shimmery effect (think of a calm sea glistening in the sun). I finished by gluing shells on the lid and the outside of the box.
