Shoe Box Treasure Chest

Level of Difficulty: Easy - Minimal Parental Supervision Required
Estimated Completion Time: 30-90 minutes
Theme: Create Your Own

These Shoe Box Treasures are so much fun and easy to make and are a great way to give a very special gift. Instead of wrapping a gift in store-bought wrapping paper that will be torn off and thrown away, make a personalized treasure chest to fit your gift into that your friends and family will cherish.

When you are done, we'd love to see your artwork. Please go to our gallery and upload your finished
masterpiece! We can't wait to see it! If you like to Blog, send us a comment and tell us about your
experience!
