Gum Tube Sand Shovel Favor

It’s beach week in the Craft Room! The Pazzles Design Team has come up with some fabulous beach inspired projects to share with you this week. Soak up the sun and sand this week and join us! Be sure and check out our Beach Week Pinterest Board for even more summer inspiration.

Are you having a sizzling summer? Then it’s time to cool off at the beach. Grab your sand bucket, shovel and let’s go!

Today I want to show you an idea for a party favor or gift box. I started with the Pazzles Craft Room file Sandy Bucket. There is sand, a bucket and a shovel. You will see that I altered the original pattern just a tad. I wanted a separate shovel that was more or less 3 dimensional. I enlarged that pattern so that I would have a finished creation large enough to hold a gift as well as the gum tube that I used to make the shovel.

To make a sand bucket, I needed to increase the size of the Takeout Box (5-A from the software library). Because the box is so large, I had to cut it by making it two pieces. I also cut the box without its top.

I think that this could also be a fun centerpiece for a summer party! Add a banner and some other beach theme cuts from the Pazzles Craft Room. I will be watching the mail for your party invitation!! Let’s get summer started!
