Next up for my homemade gifts is this super cute handmade jewellery box. I purchased hair clips and bracelet accessories as part of my niece’s “Congratulations on Your First Recital” gift set, but really wanted to make a cute presentation for the set. This box can be used over and over again to store the jewellery since there is a flap that opens and closes. No need to tear the box open. In the front of the box, I used recycled plastic to place over the open window so that nothing would fall out of the box. And I secured the bracelet and hair clips by adding a piece of tape to the inside back of the box, that way it doesn’t move around and stays exactly where I placed it. Looks much neater this way!
The gift box is from Cricut Wild Cards cartridge and it's a frequently used cut in my craft room! I love this box. Make sure you have a Scor Board handy because this box has loads of scor marks.
*My favourite plastic to re-use for these kinds of projects are the Cricut cartridge plastic containers. I open them with a scissors along the seam and store them in my stash*
I went with the same cardstock I used for the cards I made my niece so that all the colours would tie in together.
When assembling this gift box and when using plastic, I recommend using Terrifically Tacky Tape by Provo Craft. The bond is amazing! A strong hold is needed and this stuff does the job perfectly.

Cricut Wild Card cartridge (for the gift box)
