Present collectors with handy decorated boxes to house their trinkets.

Tips
These boxes are also great for holding earrings, golf tees, loose change and other treasures collected by the grown-ups on your kids' holiday list.

Prep Time: Afternoon or Evening
What you need:
	Small wooden box (available at craft stores) Acrylic paint (or stain) and brush Tacky glue Assorted decorating supplies (stamps, magazine pictures, photos, labels, stickers, wrapping paper, wooden or plastic toys) Nontoxic acrylic sealer and/or Mod-Podge
Seasons: Christmas, Father's day, Mother's day
Materials: paints, paper, wood
Instructions:
1.	First, apply a light coat of paint or colored stain to the box. While it's drying, pick a theme for the box, such as jungle animals, golf, travel, classical music, cars or ballet dancing, and choose a bunch of fitting decorations. Here, for a nature-loving friend, we chose a bird theme and decorated our box with bird stamps, cutout magazine pictures and bird stickers.
2.	Glue the decorating supplies onto the box (and maybe even put a few inside). When finished, brush on a coat of acrylic sealer or Mod-Podge. Lastly, glue a three-dimensional objectt -- say, a golf ball, a plastic toy or a wooden figurine -- to the top of the box.
