March is craft month!
We all have fond memories of making things at school, papier mache animals using balloons and newspaper or even a fancy picture for your parents using the finest school paints!
Whatever your memory, we are sure it’s a positive and happy one. As we grow older we stop playing or have less time for hobbies or arts & crafts projects.
Just because we grow up doesn’t mean that we need to stop having fun as Boxed-Up Ecommerce Co-Ordinator Kelly Rowson explains “ having fun isn’t just for kids, us adults should take time out from our busy lifestyles and do something entertaining at least once a month! It’s what keeps us young after all”
Craft Month starts in March and is the perfect time to take an Art class or maybe dust off those paint brushes, get out that sticky glue and paper and get your creative juices flowing! We hope you enjoy our top 5 favourite things to make using only cardboard.
5. Fruit & veg store
