Magical Gift Box Craft

Looking for a fun craft that doubles as a present? These kraft gift boxes are a relaxing, fun and easy way to spend quality time with your little crafter.

Magical gift box supplies

Materials:

  • Kraft boxes
  • Tacky glue
  • Craft gems
  • Small paintbrush
  • Small disposable cups
  • Fine glitter
  • Glitter craft paint (optional)

Any type of gem, glitter or paint will do. I gravitate toward supplies with  iridescent shimmer to get that magical unicorn look.

Steps: 

1. Tacky glue gems to the box top

Step 1 - glue the gems

2. Mix tacky glue with water in the disposable cup. A 1:1 measure is the perfect consistency. I used 1/4 tsp of each. Finely paint the spaces between the gems.

Step 2 - paint glue mixture between gems

3. Before the glue dries, pour glitter into the spaces, then shake the box top off. I like using paper plates to catch the glitter for re-use.

Step 3 - glitter
Step 3 - glitter ~ let dry

Optional – paint the bottom portion of the box.

Let dry, and voila! Your kiddo has the perfect box to store their treasures, or to give as a gift.
