Personalized Treasure Box

In the Designer's Words: "You and your child will have lots of fun creating this personalized treasure box - simply paint a small papermache box and add embellishments decorated with the iCraft Foil. Kids will need the help of an adult when applying the foils to the toner punch outs using the laminator."
If you are looking to craft with your kids, this adorable little DIY trinket box is the perfect place to start. This secret little DIY storage idea is perfect for their favorite jewelry or tiny toys. Your child will love creating a practical little DIY craft with you that they can actually use. The Personalized Treasure Box is great for crafting with older kids, but with some extra help you could create it with younger children, as well.
