Hello everyone!!! I wanted to stop by tonight and post a project I've been working on the past few days. They're really quick and easy to make, but I've had kiddos to take to and from work, chores *blech*, and bill paying. And speaking of bills, everyone needs a way to save on money during the holiday season. There never seems to be enough to go around anymore. So for this project I call it, 5 Under $5. Because that's all it would take to make these five boxes and even a few more actually.
You can find the Candy Cane Holder Box..Template/Cutting File at The Cutting Cafe for ONLY $2.25. With that $2.25 you get 4 different Box templates. The Christmas tree box shown I used the Christmas Tree Goodie Bag and traced it on to the solid box template. It costs only $1.50!! For the embellishments, I used ribbons that I already had on hand, that I had picked up from the Dollar Tree and Big Lots for $1, and little Jingle Bells that I had in my stash that I had got from Wal-mart a while back. The little Christmas ornament balls, I picked up at Target for $1and there's 16 in each tube. So for about $4.75 I was able to make these cute little boxes with different types of Candy Canes in each one. And the papers, I already had on hand as well.
The good thing is, you could fill each one with whatever you'd like, and use whatever embellishments and papers you already have on hand, saving even MORE money!!!
I hope you like them and that it inspires some money saving creativity for you this holiday season!!
Thanks for looking as always!
