Unicorn Boxes

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have 2 ADORABLE treat boxes for you today featuring Pixi Dust Designs Egg-cellent Box Dies. As you can see these boxes can be used for more than just Easter treats by using the unicorn dies. The boxes may look complicated but I promise you they are so easy to put together, the hardest part is just the die cutting all the different pieces. I made one primary hair colored unicorn and one pastel hair colored unicorn. I pictured them with decorative eggs but you can put anything inside, I would have put candy in there if I had any in the house!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What would you put in these unicorn boxes?
A: Me? Skittles
