Many Artists enjoy doing CRAFTS. A craft is a creative project that usually follows a set of STEPS. When followed, the results are almost always the same. Creating a work of Art, on the other hand, usually involves more CHOICES and "unknowns".
For this IDEA, we're going to create some "CRAFTY BOXES".
Our first Idea was "borrowed" from a fellow Artist and Teacher in the Netherlands named Kim Welling. The internet is a wonderful place to find inspiration, and Kim's work was shared on the web by ANOTHER Artist/Teacher in Dublin, OH named Jonathan Juravich. Long story short, it seemed like a COOL little project to re-create!?
ART IDEA #1
It seems like everyone nowadays could use a break from all the STRESS!! These little "Comfort Boxes" can be made and shared with anyone who needs a "Pick-Me-Up". ..or, keep it for yourself and sneak a peek inside when life's getting you down!
Directions are pretty simple - Print and Cut out the TEMPLATE on the SOLID LINES, fold on the perforated lines, FOLD and GLUE. Decorate as you'd like!
These Paper Boxes look like teeny little gifts, topped with a box. The TEMPLATE can be downloaded from the YouTube video. Once Printed, follow the Video Instructions and you will have some instantly cool "Craft Boxes".
