Issue #26
Occasion: Graduation
Category: Gift Idea
Materials Needed:
- Small unused pizza box
- Scrapbook paper in graduate’s school colors
- White printer paper
- 12-16 crisp bills in various denomination (B-Crafty used ten $1 bills and two $5 bills)
- Paper punch in 2” scalloped circle
- 4 yds of yellow yarn
- Small piece of red felt cut in 12 circles approximately the size of a quarter.
- Tacky glue and masking tape
Instructions:
Cut one of the pieces of scrapbook paper in the shape and size of the inside pizza box and glue onto the box. Cut the other scrapbook paper approximately ½ inch smaller all around and glue it on top of the first piece of scrapbook paper. Print out the gift message on white paper and cut it approximately ½ inch smaller than second piece of scrapbook paper. Then glue it on top of the second piece of scrapbook paper.
Cut out a scallop circle shape on each of the two pieces of scrapbook paper and glue them on an angle on top of each other in the lower right corner of the other papers. Cut out a scallop circle on white printer paper and write or print who the gift is from. Glue this on top of the scallop circle cut outs.
Arrange crisp bills in a circle in the bottom of the pizza box connected with a roll of masking tape on each bill. Once the bills are arranged in a circle, turn up the edges like a pizza crust. Place the yellow yarn in a random pattern over the bills. Place a piece of rolled masking tape on the back of each red felt circle and place them in a random pattern on top of the yarn.
Close up the pizza box. No gift-wrapping or card required.
B-Crafty Tip: This crafty gift can be given for any occasion when giving money rather than a gift.
