This KIT has a little of everything in it: some stuff for painting, drawing, journaling, collage, sewing....
To make a creativity box, just glue book paper to a cigar box and paint it (I used acrylics). I was inspired by a technique I saw on Pam Garrison's blog that she uses to make her journals. I also used some washi tape on the edges so the paper wouldn't come up, but you could also seal it with decoupage glue.
Inside, glue papers to the top and bottom of the box.
DId you notice I used Julie's idea for making a little sewing kit out of an altoid's box? I also made her a sketchbook out of a manila envelope. Make sure you fill it with lots of fun, creative things!
What does your creativity box look like? We'd love to see!
Happy Day!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your kids words, Edie! We'd love to see your box. Just attach a pic in an email and send it (beehiveartsalon@gmail.com) and we'll post it.

This is such a great idea for college students but I think it would be a lovely gift for someone just getting started in journaling or crafts. Thanks for a great idea. I'm your newest follower, I'd love if you would stop over and follow me too!
