How to Make a Tool Box from Cardstock

This is such a cute 3D project. I got the inspiration from Liz Shannon of Elizabeth’s Craft Room. Liz is a Stampin’ Up demonstrator in the UK. She made a gardening box, which she said is called a ‘trug’ in the UK. As I watched her YouTube video, I thought the design would be great to make a toolbox using the Vintage Tools stamp set. So, I set about making one and I think it came out great. I even made one in pink because there are many of us ladies who know how to use tools.

I filled the gray and silver toolbox with silver foil-wrapped Hershey Kisses and I will be giving it one of my neighbors for his birthday. He is kind of a handyman to some of us in the neighborhood and I think he will get a kick out of it.
