Today I'll show you how to make these great little boxes to house your memories for the year. Don't worry, it's pretty easy and requires no real skill. I know this because they took me about 10 minuets to make!
For this tutorial you will need:
- An empty VHS case
- Scissors
- Glue (A pritt stick)
- Something to write with (Fine liners work well)
- Memoeries such as photographs, cinema tickets, train tickets and anything you like.
- This for decoration. (Stickers, foil, anything pretty)
So get your empty VHS case.
Start to stick things on the box, make sure you cover the whole of the outside.
Hopefully when you've done the whole box it'll look something like this.
And the back. (Don't worry about the inside).
Write the numbers for the year your box will be for down. Make sure they are small enough to fit on the side of the VHS case.
Cut the numbers out.
Stick the year on the side of the box.
Decorate the side of the box some more. Stickers work well. (How adorable are those cupcakes tho).
Get a lined piece of paper and open the case. Measure the inside dimensions of the inside of the case, apply it to the piece of paper. You want to cut out a piece that will fit.
Make sure the piece of paper fits on the inside of the box and stick it in.
On that page write your new years resolution at the top so you don't forget it and below make a list of some of the things you wish to accomplish in that year.
I ended up making two. One for the year we've just had and one for the year that will come. I think they look pretty neat! You now have a place in which you can keep anything from photos too train tickets to just random memories from the year.
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
