Surprise inside.............

Ever try looking for just the right kind of a project to get that "WOW" type of a reaction? This past weekend, a group of friends of mine worked on these awesome little boxes. Not only were they easy enough, but I've heard the most "wow's" out of people since then.

From the outside, it's a pretty little box. Then when you open it, that's when the amazement sparks in the eyes of the one opening it. As you open the box, there are four other little boxes that are all staggered so they fit between each other when you close the box. You can put little treasures in these boxes or even candy.
I went an extra step further and put lids on each of the boxes. I then added two brads to wrap some cord around to keep the boxes closed. I also decorated the bare areas on the inside to dress it up a little more.


My son especially was so impressed with these that he wants to make each of his teachers one (he's in Jr. High, so he's got 8 different teachers). i think that's real sweet of him and that they should like their little boxes too. There is only one more week left in school, so we're going to have to get a jump on these before time runs out!
