Craft Stick Jewelry Box

You will need:

1 package of craft sticks, size of your choice
White craft glue
Pony bead or buttons
White acrylic paint (optional)
Pink glitter glue (optional)
Craft jewels (optional)
Paint brush
Wax paper

Lay several craft sticks on the wax paper, next to each other and touching. Be sure to line them up evenly.

Use two more craft sticks and glue on top of the others, one at each end, to hold the rest together. (See photo) They will look similar to a fence or log raft.

Use two more craft sticks and glue ends of stick to the ends of the sticks that are already in place so that they create a square. Keep repeating this alternating process to build up the sides as high as you would like.

Make the lid by repeating steps 1 & 2 above.

Let everything dry completely.

You can leave your box plain or choose to paint it. You can also add a shiny effect by painting on a layer of glitter glue over white paint.

Glue a pony bead to the center of the finished lid as a handle.

You can further embellish your jewelry box by decorating it with craft jewels.

If you don't have a pony bead, find a couple of matching buttons and stack them with glue.
