When my kids finished up the box of Slim Jims (Yes, I know, not healthy) my son asked me if I wanted the box. I did! And here is what I made with it:</p>

<p>A party favor dispenser! I used YES! paste to adhere this lovely American Crafts paper (It is a couple of years old from the &#8220;Dear Lizzy&#8221; line) to the box. It was really easy. I did not cover the inside of the box or the little tabs that you can see when the door is open and I think it looks just fine. I stamped &#8220;party favors&#8221; using the <a href="http://www.pinkpersimmon.com/shop/sodapopalpha.html">Soda Pop large alpha</a> from <a href="http://www.pinkpersimmon.com/shop.html">Pink Persimmon </a>and the die cut mat is a leftover cutout window from mt <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/svg-cutting-templates/royal-whimsy-party-svg/prod_7698.html">Royal Whimsy SVG set</a>.</p>

<p>Believe it or not I try to have a healthy household, that&#8217;s why for my daughters&#8217; birthday I wanted to give out a party favor that was not candy OR cheap plastic toys that would fall apart before the kids even got them home. I found a box of foil wrapped packets containing a small coloring book, box of crayons and stickers. Eureka! The perfect party favor and it fits in my altered slim jim box!</p>

<p>This project took about 15 minutes and I can use it over and over again. I like to make party stuff that I can build on and use again year after year and this box is not too young-looking. One note, you might want to cover the box so you can fill it from the top. I did not think of that until I was done and I had to fill it from the bottom. This would be great done in more neutral colors and could be used to dispense packs of trading/baseball cards! Have a great Sunday and til next time happy crafting!</p>
