Make this sweet little hot cocoa box from nothing more than a few simple things...a box, acrylic paint, grosgrain ribbon, felt and scrapbooking stickers! I bought the cardboard box at Michael's and just left the lid off. If you are patient, you can purchase these boxes on sale (off and on) throughout the year for about a dollar...otherwise, they are around $2.99. See my tutorial above for details as well as the photo below of my finished box. This would make a wonderful and thoughtful little gift at Christmas and you can make the boxes over the Summer. The various ways to decorate the cocoa boxes are endless, however, I would suggest thinking of the person you will be giving the box to as a gift. What is the person's favorite color? Do they fancy a certain animal, such as birds or kittens? Do they have a hobby, such as collecting seashells or have a certain theme in their kitchen? Is the person diabetic or on a restricted diet? If so, be sure to give sugar-free cocoa. To give as a gift, I would recommend placing the hot cocoa box in a clear cellophane bag and attaching a large bow. Enjoy this project!
