Greetings! Shellye McDaniel<\/a> here today. The days of giving thanks are upon us and I have a delightful way to keep those notes and memories! By repurposing a boat-shaped food container, I created a gratitude loaded box. Let me show you how!<\/p>\n

Gratitude Loaded Box Base<\/h2>\n

To get started I took a paper “boat” food container and de-constructed it by unhinging the flaps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Next, I cut a sheet of patterned paper and Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch<\/a> slightly larger than the boat. I attached the adhesive sheet to the paper and then traced the boat onto the paper backing. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

After tracing, I cut the piece out and carefully covered the outside of the boat. Before attaching the sides back, I trimmed any overhang of paper. I attached the flaps with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/2in<\/a> and Adhesive Dots 3D<\/a> for the buttons. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

To the inside of the box, I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/8in<\/a> to attach mini pom pom trim. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Finally, I crafted several components that are fun and interactive for the inside! <\/p>\n

Tag Details<\/h2>\n

I created tags by dressing plain chipboard using E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand Ultra Strong<\/a> with patterned paper. A combination of Adhesive Dots Micro<\/a>, Crafty Foam Tape White<\/a>, 3D Foam Squares White Mix<\/a>, and Dual Tip Glue Pen<\/a> were used to attach the various embellishments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In finishing, I covered plain clothespins with strips of paper and then topped with these adorable wooden pumpkins. I wanted the pumpkins to sparkle, so I used Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch<\/a> to coat the entire piece. Next, I sprinkled on some gold glitter and viola!<\/p>\n

Thank you for joining me today!
