Judy Moody Collections Box


First of all, I'm so, so, so sorry that I didn't do a St. Patrick's Day post!!! I forgot that it was in February! Anyway, here's how to make your own Judy Moody collections box. And when I say collections box, I mean a Judy Moody box that you can put your collections in.



You will need:
1 plain, undecorated, craft box
Packing paper
Large beads, in shapes such as animals, stars, swirls, squares, letters, triangles, and insects
Silly-Bandz (optional)
Glue
Colored glitter glue or just colored glitter
Crayons, colored pencils, or markers
Erasers in fun shapes (optional) 
Band-Aids with animals, stars, swirls, squares, letters, triangles, or insects on them
A computer and printer

Directions:
First, go to www.judymoody.com. Next, click on Way-Not-Boring Fun Stuff To Do, then click on Downloadable Fun. Click on Judy Moody Stamps, and print the them. Cut the stamps out. Cover the craft box with packing paper. But make sure that you can open the box first before you glue the packing paper on. You don't want to cover the opening with packing paper! After you've done that, glue on your favorite Judy Moody stamps. After you've done that, you can glue on the beads, Silly-Bandz, and erasers, and stick on the Band-Aids, draw on fun doodles with the crayons, colored pencils, or markers, and top it off with the colored glitter! 

Collections you can start:
Eraser collection
Stamp collection
Silly-Band collection
Gum-ball ring collection
Wrapper collection
Rock collection
Shell collection
Greeting card collection
Postcard collection
Ask your parents first if you can collect these items before you start collecting them!  
P.S. In case you were wondering, I collect all of the above.
