Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas

Home » Gifts for Son » The Treasure Box

Many homemade holiday gift ideas can be found on our present index.

But, here is an idea that will make a great impact on your kids. It is practical and beautiful. I give you 'The treasure box'. It's a box the kids can use for their treasures.

My son is a serious collector of all kind of things: stickers, cards and toys. These collections are scattered all over the house. Now he can find his collections all in one place.

I guess this gift is actually a gift for me.

It doesn't matter what holiday is coming up. Whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah or Thanksgiving it is always a good time to give kids presents. Especially a present that can make things a bit tidier.

It is a real simple gift to make.

So, get your creative mind into action because here we go.

Materials:

Acrylic color of your choice
U glue
A wooden box (the box can be bought in any novelty shop)
Epoxy glue
A picture the size of box

Tools:

A brush
A cutter
A roller

Instrction:


1. Paint the box with the acrylic paint. Let it dry for 3 hours.		2. Cut the picture to fit the lid of the box.


3. Apply glue on the back of the picture.		4. Glue the picture on the lid. Now your son or daughter will see their picture on top.


5. Mix the epoxy glue (follow the instructions on the box).		6. Make sure you mix the glue enough. The more you mix the less air bubbles you will have.


7. Pour the epoxy glue over the picture. There is no need to spread it. The glue will slowly spread evenly over the picture.		8. Let the glue dry. (You are done).


9. Fill the box with toys.
