Treasure Ahoy!
My nephew had a pirate-themed birthday party back in October, and I was inspired to make this treasure chest gift box for him. It’s made with 12 x 12 brown scrapbooking paper, and accented with yellow “hinges” and a belt to keep it closed.
I created my own template for the box, and filled it with gold-foil covered chocolate coins. Of course, with a five year old, the paper box didn’t last long as it was the chocolate he was after! I can’t really fault the boy, as I’ve been so desperate for chocolate a few times that I would have torn through actual wood to get to it!
