Box Mobiles

These boxes are terrific for giving small gifts, such as jewelry, plus work well as an invitation to a party or to honor a celebration. Customize to suit most any occasion.

Materials:

small cardboard gift box
beads, charms or other doo-dads
ribbon or decorative cord
cardstock
Hot Potato stamps
glue or double stick tape
markers, stamp pads, pencils or any supplies to decorate your message

Steps:

1. Stamp images or phrases onto the cardstock, and cut the cardstock to fit into the box. Stamp two of everything.
2. Glue or tape the identical images or letters back to back with the string or ribbon in between.
3. Thread string or ribbon through the top of the box or secure it to underside of the top.
4. Decorate the outside of the box with stamps or cover with paper or cloth.

Note: The Hot Potatoes Alphabet Set is perfect for stamping out a friend's name or greeting. Use grommets and wire to attach the segments for variety. Also try beads, polymer clay, charms, tassels, and other trinkets to dress up your box. Use your imagination, and have fun!
