How to make this Graduation Money Gift Box

Step 2: Cut out
Cut these pieces out.
Step 3: Assemble
Hot glue the congrats grad pieces together to make one big strip (4 squares altogether). Bend at each square.
Step 4: Attach to box
Wrap the printable around the tissue box and hot glue in place.
Attach the top and the bottom.
This are so darn cute, you could add a rock or something heavy in the box and use it to hold Balloons as a table decoration.
How to add the money for the birthday gift
We did 20 in one-dollar bills and it was super long! Just tape each dollar end to end. Tape the arrow printable to the end.
If you want it REALLY long you can cut up colored paper in the same size as the money and add it in between each dollar bill.
Loosely roll them into a bundle. If it’s too tight it won’t pull easily. Smoosh it into an oval and slip it inside the box.
The dollar bills will keep the arrow up out of the box so it’s easy to see.
