Supplies:
Craft Sticks
Craft Glue
Paint
Paint Brushes
Apron
Sparkling Gems/Jewels
Newspaper/cloth
Wax-Paper
Gather all your supplies together, so you can easily reach for them. Place the apron on your little ones, so they won’t mess up their beautiful attire. We first started off with the lid and the base of the jewelry box. Count out 12 craft sticks and place them side by side next to one another on your work table. Glue one craft stick across the top and glue the other stick across the bottom (like you are making a fence). This will hold the sticks securely in place. Make sure your repeat this process twice, since you will use one for the lid and the other one for the base. If you’re working with little ones, make sure you show them how to do it first. I showed Sophia how to do it first and then she got the hang of it and was off working on her lid and base.
Second, place 2 craft sticks across from one another (one will be on the left and the other the right side) lay another set of 2 craft sticks across from the first 2 in the opposite direction. Reach for your craft glue and place a tiny bit of glue at the tip of the sticks where they touch at the corners. This will create a beautiful square. Keep alternating and repeating this process until you reach a desire height for your jewelry box. Sophia was so into placing the glue on the ends craft sticks, that I did not even realize how high she made her jewelry box.
Once all of your jewelry boxes are finished, place them aside to dry completely. Our jewelry boxes were completely dry and we were ready to decorate them. Without any hesitation, the little one reached for her paint brushes and started to paint her jewelry box. Now, it was time to set it aside once more to dry off.
Once, the jewelry boxes were decorated with all these luxury gemstones and was dried off, it was time to place a photo in one of them. I love how you can personalize your own jewelry box. Well, here you have it. We made several Dazzling Craft Stick Jewelry boxes and now it is your turn to make some of your own. These are perfect to give as a gift or any other special occasion. Have fun, enjoy and remember to come back again for more exciting craft projects.
