I found these little cardboard boxes you would uses for little jewelery/trinkets you would give as a gift or something.
I bought 12 of them for $0.99 each, some Krazy Glue for $2.99 and some boyish ribbon for $0.99. I didn't use the ribbon so I may either save that for something else or take it back later. And, I'm not sure how...but my total was $13 something, but I wont complain. :)
After playing with a few different configurations, came up with this:
I know you are wondering where the 12th box went. For some silly reason it was a bigger shape and wouldn't work right. So, I made a square and stuck on in the middle. I just glues all the sides together and used my chip clips to hold it in place for a bit.
I nailed it up in a fun spot and Andrew loves it! So does Alex. I guess when I take the ribbon back, I will grab some more boxes and make him one, too.

Such a cool dude. I asked him if I could take his picture. He says (very quickly), "Ok. Cheese." Good thing I was ready to take it!

Those boxes are just the right size and perfect for kids. What a great idea. You can use them temporarily and when they outgrow them it isn't a huge loss. I found you on Tip Junkie.

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! It seems perfect for a toddler :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I will have to try this for my 18 month old. He would love a place on his wall to put up some of his cars, or golf balls ;-) I'd love to have you share this on my Linky Party which is focused on crafts for and by kids.
