    I cannot find the jewelry boxes at all. I went to Micheals and they are out of nearly every size and they don’t have anything similar on their website either. I took a screen-shot of your video. It’s a silver Celebrate It 2.1 in x 3 in X1 in jewelry gift box with a bar code of 8 8694693285 4 I’ve tried a google search of the name and of the bar code, but It is impossible to find!

      That’s weird. Did you ask an employee? Maybe someone bought them all up for party favor boxes. That happens at my Michaels sometimes and it takes them weeks to restock! A bit annoying.

    Hi Rudy, LOVE THESE. Question: What size boxes best match the AG tv dinners? Your boxes are perfect size but they come in so many sizes. Thanks!

    There is a free program called gimp that could be used for making printable for those that don’t have Photoshop. Love your crafts Rudy

    Hi, Rudy!

    The instructions for this were great. I’ve made a few with my daughter already and she LOVES them! She keeps asking for more, so I’ve had to come up with other varieties! Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with us!

    Thanks, Rudy! But what I meant was how do you make you own printable boxes. ? Like is there a special website to make them on?

    These are SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!! I will totally make this! They look even cuter then the AG ones (sorry)! ? Weird question, but how do you make printable boxes?

    • Rudy

      They are listed under materials needed. Just print them out, cut them, score on the fold lines, and glue together. I don’t show the entire process anymore because I’ve done it so many times in past videos. Once you have it cut out though you should be able to figure out where to fold it to make it a box!
