DIY Glam Wedding Card Box / Dollar Tree DIY Bling Card Box

I absolutely LOVE how this cardbox turned out! The video and photos actually do it no justice! The inspiration for this came from The Tara Perez Project! I ❤️ her work! I made this for my cousin’s wedding after seeing one she purchased from the store and what she paid for it. I told her I was sure I could make her one that looks WAY better, for WAY less! So here’s my version! 🙃 The total cost for this project was around $20.
🎬You can retrieve the cards from the bottom of the box. The tabs were left on the bottom frame so the cardboard bling piece can be taken out and put back in! 3:28 in the video.

[@nadinebrown-holt8671]

This was beautifully done, but question how will the bride retrieve the cards if all sides are glued down? I would hate to see the box destroyed.

[@Krmcgchy]

I know this is an old comment but a solution I'm thinking of off hand is to attach whichever frame is gonna be your back with the pegs still attached and facing outward since that wont be visible at the event and put the back insert in like you would a picture. Then, after the event you can remove the whole back piece and retrieve the cards. you could look for a frame with a flat front but if it has a pattern I honestly don't think it would look unintentional as the front of the frame would be facing the front of the box. Otherwise, shake shake shake.

[@DamenicaJ]

Yes…You can retrieve the cards from the bottom of the box. The tabs were left on the bottom frame so the cardboard bling piece can be taken out and put back in! 3:28 in the video.

[@teaspeaks2926]

Hi! I’m getting married in November. Did you end up using hinges? Was it easy to do?

[@Angelbaby8600]

So the two boxes I did. Where not meant to have hinges. They where meant to open and close. I have been making the special for the person wanting them. And I dont think I would drill into the dollar tree frames they are not strong enough but using epoxy would probably work so much better just make sure you dont get glue on the swinging part of the hinge.... does that make since

[@donnaward-stevenson3007]

I have been having the same problem. Since the mirrors are a standard 8*10 size I purchased regular frames from Dollar Tree and used Rustoleum Mirror Effect spray paint.(You can also use Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint) That will allow you to make the glass from the frames into mirrors.

[@shadrock3716]

[@DamenicaJ]

As long as everything lines up at the bottoms with no gaps. Sometimes if I want to see if something will work before I buy it, I’ll put the frames together inside my cart how I plan on gluing them, using the cart to help me hold them up. The Dollar Tree has been inconsistent lately with their products. Maybe I’ll do an updated card-box soon. Sorry you weren’t able to find what I used.
