Reuse Present Box


Reuse Present Box

Items needed:

Clean, empty milk jug
Permanent marker
Dry erase marker
Scissors
Ribbon
Sticky Velcro dots
Tissue paper, (any color)
Spray paint for plastic (if you want)

STEPS 1:


First of all, using the permanent marker draw lines around the jug, like in the pictures so that you have 3 low curved sides and 1 high curved side.

STEPS 2:

Use the scissors to cut around the lines you drew.  All the left over pieces should be returned to the recycle bin.  Now bend down the short, rounder edges, toward the center of the jug.  The last one to bend down is the tall rounded edge.  It’s like the lid. Bend it down to where it meets the outside of the front of the jug. Now the package is being held closed by the Velcro.

STEPS 3:

Now bend down the short, rounder edges, toward the center of the jug.  The last one to bend down is the tall rounded edge.  It’s like the lid. Bend it down to where it meets the outside of the front of the jug. Now the package is being held closed by the Velcro.

STEPS 4:
 
Colored your box with spray if want to, or decorate with ribbons or raffia. The gift is ready to send.
