Mission: Blue's Clues Party 100bucks or Less Craft Project 5

We are half way there to a Blue's Clues Party for 100 bucks or Less!

Toady we are doing a slightly big project--in size not steps

Craft Project 5-- Side Table Drawer

Since we are playing a game of Blue's Clues I decided to make side table so we would have some where for them to get there notebooks from.

Supplies:
1 box(mine held chairs for our table in it)
red paper-6 or so depending on size of your box
yellow paper-1-2 again depending on size
black paper or scrap black paper
marker
scissors
glue

Total Cost:
94 cents--I had everything on hand but I needed to get a new glue bottle

Step One: Get your box...easy part, if you don't have one head to your grocery store and ask for one...they always keep some in the back or Walmart they are good for that too.

Take the flaps off either the top or the bottom of your box--SAVE THEM we will use them for this and another project

Step Two: cover the front your box with red paper

Step Three: using a longer flap from you box cut a long rectangular shape. Then cover the front of that piece with the yellow construction paper and glue it to the front of you box. I have mine with a half an inch hanging off the top of the box




Step Four: Using a smaller flap from your box cut another rectangular shape as the drawer itself. Cover that with yellow paper and glue it to the front of your box.

Step Five: Cut a small circle out of the black paper and place it on the drawer as her nose or knob. Then draw a set of eyes and mouth.

Here is mine:



That's all for today. The party is in a few days....
