You can never have too many boxes! This one, made from picture frames, is great for holding candy on the coffee table or cotton balls in the ladies room.

SUPPLIES:
5 picture frames w/ glass (buy at the dollar store!)
Sandpaper
Red spray paint
Deck of cards
Chip or cardboard
Red squeeze paint
Red mardi gra beads
Dice
e6000 and hot glue
Large doll head (wood ball with flat side)
Felt tabs

DIREX: Remove the glass and spray paint the frames, let dry. Arrange the frames in the way they will be assembled. Use the sandpaper to remove paint from the sides that you will be gluing together. Replace glass. Use e6000 and hot glue to glue the frames together in a box shape. The hot glue will allow them to secure while the e6000 dries. Glue on the chipboard, trim any excess. Set box upright and use the squeeze paint to affix the playing cards to the glass, add beads to borders, etc. Decorate the top frame and glue a ball to the top. Add felt tabs to the bottom side of the top. Glue dice for feet.
