Anybody know a good shoebox crafts?

Question

does anybody know any good crafts you can make out of a shoebox?

please & thank you!

Answer 1

I would make dioramas out of them.

One way would be to take the top off and use the box as if you are looking in to or by turning it on it's side and using it that way. If on it's side, I would but the top under to make it bigger. I would make everything out of paper (background, trees, houses, people, crops, etc)

Another way I would do it is to cut a small viewing hole in the side and make the scene from the front of the box to the back (and leave the top on it also).

My sisters would make vehicles out of them. Sticks can turn into axles and cardboard makes great wheels.

Hope this gives you some ideas!

Answer 2

When I was younger, I would take the box, turn it upside down and then put the lid back on it (perpedicular to the box).  I would then decorate it and make it into a Mardi Gras float.  It's the thing to do when you grow up in New Orleans.

Answer 3

You could cover them with fabric and sell them at a craft fair as photo keepsake boxes. Good luck, Have fun!

Answer 4

i remember cutting a hole in the lid of the shoebox and then putting different kinds of rubberbands to make a "guitar" when i was little.

you can also decorate the boxes to make them into keepsake boxes or put little figurines in it to create a scene from a favorite story.
