Tropical Fruit Boxes DIY

by Queti @ Fancy Momma

I went down to the basement looking for gift boxes because I kind of felt like making something out of them. Honestly, I wasn’t sure yet. So I found two boxes that were quite sturdy. These came from a gift we received and I kept the box because…you know what I’m gonna say right? Yup, I knew I could use it for a DIY.
So after staring at the boxes, I thought of making these tropical fruit boxes. So cute! Really! And I will teach you how to make it.

Do a free hand drawing of a pineapple and sliced orange on the front of the box using a pencil. If you aren’t comfortable doing that maybe you can trace a clipart image of a those fruits.

Then you need a craft knife or x-acto knife. Be very careful when handling sharp tools. Carefully slice out the outlines of the pineapple. Be strategic, though, cut only the outline that will still hold the pineapple in place.

Use a black permanent marker to outline the tropical fruits. Make it thick. You can check the link at the end of this post for a more detailed tutorial.

Then get some construction paper and choose the color you like. Cut the construction paper to a size where it will slide through inside the box.

Once the full size of the paper is inside the box ,press the edges of the paper towards the box where you have placed glue. After that, say hello to these cute tropical fruit boxes!
