Alligator Pencil Box

2 Materials
It’s back to school time, which opens up lots of fun crafting possibilities. I love to craft with unfinished wood products because you can decorate them in so many ways! With some paint and a few fun additions, a simple box can be transformed to something fun and whimsical!
I’m going to show you how to turn a plain wood supply box into a friendly pencil chomping alligator!
Use a pencil to draw the mouth of the alligator. Paint the mouth with two applications of pink paint.
Paint the rest of the box green. Be sure to remove the sliding lid and paint it separately, otherwise the paint will seal the box closed when it dries! Two applications of paint were enough to cover the wood completely.

This fun alligator pencil box will look adorable on any desk! Not only will it help keep supplies organized, it might even make homework a little more fun. My daughter loves her new pencil box, and she doesn’t even use it for pencils! It’s full of little toys. Have fun crafting and creating with wood!
