I love the versatility of craft sticks, and these jumbo ones are the best for making cute DIY gift boxes.

With summer camps and extra craft time kicking in, these make some pretty stylish little crates, considering these cost only pennies apiece.

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut sticks as shown in tutorial.

3. Let dry and fill with any number of things, including candy, baked goods, flowers, cactus. All kinds of possibilities!
