Recycled Little Golden Book Treat Boxes

I've been having some more fun with Little Golden Books! Remember the Recycled Little Golden Book Ornaments I made?
Well, my mom sent me a link to a some adorable little boxes made from Little Golden Books on a super cute blog called Vintage Street Market. Eeek! I had to try and make one or two!
Since I used some of the pages from the books I had, this was a perfect way to use the adorable book covers!
I'll show you how I made the Frosty the Snowman box.
First, cut the main image out of the cover. I tried an x-acto knife but found that scissors really worked better.
Here is Frosty all cut out!
Then I cut the back of the book cover into four equal sections to make the box. I used the back of another book for the box bottom (not pictured here).
I cut the sides of the box a little shorter that the front and back pieces and then I cut some scrapbook paper that coordinated with the Frosty image to cover the box pieces.
I used Mod Podge
to adhere the papers to the book pieces.
Once I had that part done I used my Crop-A-Dile
to punch holes through the box pieces.
Until they looked like this.
Then I used some red yarn
and a blanket stitch to lace my box up!
It will look something like this now.
Then I glued Frosty to the edge of the box.
And added glitter in strategic places 😁.
Cut out the book title and glue that to the front of the box.
And here is my finished box!
I used some more Christmas themed paper to cover the back of Frosty.
And I made the Santa box from The Night Before Christmas book.
I made the box for this one smaller and I used tape to hold the box together and then covered it with paper.
Santa got a pom-pom on his hat and glitter on all his coat and hat cuffs.
You can see how small this box is here. It would be perfect for candy!
I did not cover the back of this one.
What do you think? Aren't they cute?
You can buy the boxes that Vintage Street Market made in her Etsy shop here: Vintage Street Market She has other designs like Rudolph!!

PS. I have included links to the products (or some like them) that I've used for your convenience. If you make a purchase from one of the links in this post I will earn a small commission but it will not cost you a penny more! Click here to see my full Disclosure Policy.
