Happy Stamptastic Tuesday!
Today we are featuring the Just 4 Men stamp set– especially for those men in our lives!
We all know that Father’s Day is this coming weeekend, but that doesn’t mean that is the only weekend we should show them our LOVE!
Here is my project using this stamp set! 🙂
It’s a little toolbox made out of chipboard 🙂
And, guess what? Â It is super easy to put together!
- First you’ll need a piece of light chipboard, cut at 5”x11”
- Score 1/2” on both sides  in on the short sides and at 3” in on the long side.
- Fold in those scored edges- and cut in where the scores overlap. Form box, and hold together, with your fingers or tape, so that you can punch a hole into all 8 corners, using a cropadile.
- Cut 2 pieces of light chipboard 5” x 6” and taper the end to form the top of the tool box. Â Punch a hole in the center of each, to be a place where the wooden dowel will go.
- Attach the sides of the box, by marking where the holes are- and then punching holes into the side pieces. ( don’t worry about using a marker, because it will be covered up)
- I used brads that looked like screws, but you can use any type of brad or eyelet.
- If you wish, paint the chipboard with a light coat of silver acrylic paint.  Use a heat gun, to speed up the drying time, if you are impatient like me 😉
- You can also paint the dowel, which needs to be 3/16 x 5 1/2”
- Now you can decorate the toolbox, however you want! Â I used the DCWV Guy Stack-
I thought that a gift of duct tape and a Home Depot card- would be perfect in this little toolbox- since I used the Duct Tape sentiment.
Of course, I only had zebra duct tape here, so I will have to remember to pick up some silver duct tape! 🙂
Don’t forget to check out the Stamptastic Tuesday posts that Paula, Meriah AND Bryan have for you today, using this same AWESOME Just 4 Men stamp set, that Mr. Pink designed.
I just love this…what a fun idea! I really need to get this stamp set! :o)
Very cute…. I was admiring the brads that were used looking like screws… neat!

Oh my goodness…how fun is that? I see that I’m gonna have to have this set also! My Dad was a firm believer in duct tape, if it couldn’t be fixed with duct time, it was time to trash it!
I have those brads and just LOVE using them!! What a cute idea!! TFS
So cute! Truly the saying in our house. TFS!
This is a very cute project, and I am definitely going to be buying some of your stamp sets!! 🙂 I am a new follower, can’t wait to see more!
