Personalized Guitar Pick Box

A simple, fun project.

I made this a while ago, when I was first getting into guitar and kept losing my picks. I feel kinda weird throwing away paper jewelry boxes, because I know there's so much I can do with them, so I turned one into my guitar pick box...This project could really be adapted tons of different ways, for any small object.
Sorry there are no step-by-step pictures, but it's not a complicated project or anything. :)

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Markers
  • Stickers
  • A Small Box
  • Masking Tape

Steps (3 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take the bottom half of the box and cover it with masking tape.

  2. 2

    Draw over a fingertip with one color of marker. Really make sure to get a lot of ink on your fingertip. (I used Crayola markers, so it came off quickly after I washed my hands.) Now stamp your fingertip over the top of the box, reapplying ink as desired. Repeat with different colors on different fingertips.
    The other guitar-specific idea I had for this is to trace picks in different colors over the top of the box.

  3. 3

    Center a sticker in the middle of the top half of the box. Take one color marker and make a border around the sticker and the sides of the top of the box.
    Then, put your stuff in the box and go be a rock star.
