project box: great gift

this idea is a total rip-off of a gift the bee received from our good friends at christmas. bee's box was lovingly decorated and full of all sorts of four year old style inspiration. 

when it came time to plan a gift for a classmate's birthday party bee was adamant, the only gift that would do was a project box.

this gift was really fun to put together and could be tailored to the tastes of any kid. i bought a few things and used a bunch of things that i found around the house. the total cost was around $10, but a few things i opened and broke up, so we got a few bonus supplies out of the deal.

in the box is 3 rolls of colored masking tape ($1 for all at the junk store!), 3 jars of treasures (beads & string, buttons and sequins), elmer's glue, tacky glue, a bunch of ribbons, a bunch of fabric scraps, 4 paper books (zipped out on the sewing machine with white copy paper inside and a piece of fun paper for a cover), a big piece of contact paper, some foam stickers, some feathers, a bunch of muffin foils and a stack of pink blank index cards.

bee decorated the cover and the inside of the cover. i didn't accompany bee to the party but D and bee both reported that everyone loved the box. who wouldn't! i want one for a kid my age!
