DIY Card Box for $6.00

Here is another DIY project that cost me next to nothing. I have made my card box a 3 tear square cake style type out of boxes that I have found around the house. I used a medium size box for the base which I covered in black poster sheet (its cheaper and wraps it like wrapping paper so there are no lines by adding several pieces of paper) I used an empty tissue box the middle which I wrapped in red cardstock, and for the top I used a small box that I wrapped in black as well. I then placed red ribbon around the black boxes in the middle which i taped using double sided sticky tape if you use glue it will go right threw the ribbon and you will see it. I then purchased the Letter B which was a coat hanger at michaels for 2.00 dollars that is white and I glued some red gems to it that I had left over from my invites. I then bought a fake thing of red roses from the dollar store to place on top of the small box. Glue all threw boxes together in the order you want them...From experience cut the hole in your large bottom base box BEFORE you wrap it in your color or fabrin of choice!!! i did mine after and it was so much harder and I messed up i would have had to start over thank god i did it right the first time!! the middle and top boxes are just for decoration they are not to be filled with cards, just the bottom box is. WHen I glued my two smaller boxes on i used hot glue gun its stronger hold and i sat them back a little rather then right in the middle fo the base box so that the card hole could be there. then decorate as you would like..heres mine!!!
