Sonic Box

On the tenth week of Christmas
My ICE Chicks gave to me
an altered box that was FREE!

This weeks project is so fun! its perfect to give to anyone, but I especially love to give it as a neighbor gift. Its so cute and clever the recipient would never even know it was recycled!
In this tutorial I am using a Sonic drink holder. however you can adapt this to any drink holder or bottle holder. I have been known to save boxes from the fancy root beer, wine coolers/beer, or those yummy Starbucks frapachinos you can get at the grocery store. (they all break down flat for easy storage till your ready for your project too!)

You will need a drink holder, pattern papers, embellishments, & ribbon.

First you will use the box as a template. just lie on the backside of your Paper and trace, then cut. After you have all your pieces cut our go ahead glue them on. Then the fun begins…embellish! Have fun, I like to tie ribbons at the handle, and then add bits and pieces of whimsical all around the box. ***TIP*** if the pattern paper you choose does not work with the craft color of the box you can paint the exposed parts.



After your box is altered and embellished as desired, you can fill the pockets with all kinds of goodies. Here I made a pasta theme, with some sauce, noodles and wooden spoons. However, there are TONS of things you can do, make a family night box with candy, soda, popcorn & a movie, or fill with handmade cookies and candy (my favorite neighbor gift) or how about a mug with coca and a book? Be creative!







Enjoy!
