This week has been full of all kinds of craft. Crafts are seriously one of the best ways to keep your mind busy, while at the same time keep you from forgetting.
For a while now I have been wanting to make some sort of Time Capsule/Memory box that I can add things to throughout these next two years. Mostly memories that my missionary and I have created together. This box is also a great place to store letters you receive from your missionary (or whoever) all in one place.
Here Is How It Can Be Done...
Things you will need...
- A Paper Mache box (any shape, I got mine at Michael's 3 for $9.)
- Mod Podge (16 fl. oz. $9.)
- A container you can pour the Mod Podge in (Probably into something you can just throw away because cleaning the mod podge can be really time consuming and frustrating. FREE right from your kitchen)
- Foam Paint Brushes ($1)
- A few Sheets of patterned paper (I bought 6 sheets for ($1.20)
- and Pictures (optional)
Total Project Price... about $25
The above picture is what is looks like when it is complete. The patterned paper I used were things that were meaningful to us, which include: Clocks(for time), Sheet music, and words. I used pictures of the Gilbert temple and a picture of us on the lid to add more of a personal touch.
As for the flower that goes on the top...
- You can use the extra paper you have from decorating your box
- Jewels (optional)
- Glue
- and a Pencil
- You may want to get some scrap paper to practice with first

And this is what it looks like when it is done...

| I left out the pipe cleaner and just stuck a jewel in the middle instead. To keep it together I just glued it. SIMPLE AS THAT!! |
Any Question??
THANKS A BUNCH!
