DIY Wedding Card Box

I love DIY projects, so when I found out that one of my best friends was getting married, naturally I started thinking about all kinds of fun projects that I could do! One of the first projects that I made for her was a wedding card box. Do you have any idea how much some of these babies sell for?!! A LOT! 

Here are some of the inspiration pictures used for this project.........

This Wedding Card Box is $135

This wedding card box is $115

Or this one for $115



Or this one is only $113

While I appreciate that all of those wedding card boxes are custom made to order and very nice, this DIY girl could never justify paying that much for something simple enough that I could make myself, so that is exactly what I did! I gathered some supplies that I already had on hand and got my craft on!

Supplies used to make this: {not all shown in picture}

Boxes

Fabric
Tulle
Silk rose
Rhinestones

Adhesive spray

Glue gun & glue

Tape measure 

Pencil

Scissors
Packing tape

I started by choosing a couple different sized boxes and stacked them to get an idea of how it would look. The top two boxes needed to be cut to create the tiers so I measured, marked, cut, and taped them. I cut a hole in the top of the bottom box and a slit in the front of the middle box for the cards to go.

Next, I cut the fabric to size and adhered it to the boxes using an adhesive spray. The boxes were attached together using tape and hot glue. I tied a piece of white tulle around the middle box, and then hot glued a white silk rose to the top. I added the rhinestone around the opening where the cards go after I took this picture so you will have to just imagine how it looked with a lil' bling!!

I absolutely LOVE how it came out, but most importantly........so did the bride-to-be!

By using what I already had on hand from previous projects, this wedding card box cost me a whopping $0.00. These are the projects I love the most!
