Recycled Wrapping Paper Gift Box or Treasure Chest

This box is prefect for that gift that doesn't have much of a shape and is also great to be used as a great treasure chest for scavenger hunts.

For this project you will need:

- A box that can easily be taken apart and put back together.

- Old wrapping paper.

- Scissors.

- Glue (I use hot glue but any glue will work fine.)

1.) Lay out your wrapping paperon a flat surface and smooth out wrinkles. (Paper with little tares will be okay because if you decorate the box they can be easily hidden.)

2.) Take apart your box so it can be laid flat and lay it on the paper.

3.) Cut off excess paper so that there is between .5" and 1" left surrounding the box.

4.)Wrap one side of excess paper around the longest side of the box and glue down.

5.) Flip box over and glue the rest of the paper down to the main parts of the box (not the parts of the box.) Do any necessary trimming and glue the rest of the paper to the box.

6.) Put the box back together and decorate.
