A Window Gift Box for a Man in your Life

A Window Gift Box for a Man in your Life

 Hey, there!  It’s Robin Redd (a.k.a. RockinReddRobin!).  I’m sharing a quick and easy project you can make for a man in your life.  Of course, with some simple tweaks, you can make it for a woman or a child.  This is a very versatile project.

 The Robin’s Nest is teaming up with Ecstasy Crafts this month.  

 I’m using the Baker’s Box template today from Green Sneakers.

The design is so simple, yet it creates such a fun box that you can spiff up however you like.   

You simply lay the stencil down on a 12 x 12 paper and trace out the cut lines and fold lines.   

I used Mens Plaid/Compass Cardstock.

Then you fold it up into a box.

 The template has a built in template to make a window.  

 I used a Spellbinder die to cut my window shape.  

 I lined the window with clear acetate.

 

I decorated the window with Wilshire Dew Drops and Safari Mini Dew Drops. 

I made birch trees from the straws that that are now in The Robin's Nest Shop and a Sizzix Christmas tree die.  For the straw, I cut it up each side to split it so it will be less bulky.  

I put the Outdoors Sticker on chipboard to give it more stability, punched a hole in it to make a tag that I tied on with the Natural Twine I had wrapped around the box.

Lodge Cut Outs Cardstock

I filled the box with nuts.  Now I have a little gift ready to give away.  

 What are some other things you can put in a box like this? 

 Chocolates, fudge, a gift card, a tie…the possibilities are endless!

Until next time…
