Hi everyone! How are you doing? We’re not having too much good weather these days, so it’s been great to finish some projects I had.
All of you with little daughters know about Frozen fever this year. And you also know about the hectic social life they have; almost each weekend there is a birthday party, meeting with friends or any other kind of activities. For the birthday parties we try to surprise them with a handmade gift, thought especially for them. We think that doing something by ourselves instead of buying something in a shop makes the gift more special.
In this case the girl was mad about Frozen: she had the movie, the customs, stickers, cologne… so the gift was clear, it had to be something related to her passion. Searching through the storage room I found a box I bought some time ago, the girls helped me to paint it while I was doing the design with Photoshop.
My girls decided which images had to be used, and we add her name as well.
I printed the image and glued it to the box. When it dried I painted the border with a sponge to achieve a nice finish, and then two coats of varnish.
When we finished the box we thought it would be a nice idea to make a coordinate notepad so she could keep it inside the box as well as some crayons or paint. She loved the gift and her friends too.
Hope you like it! If you want to see more projects you just need to click on the link.

Pili, this is such a great idea! Your daughter must be so proud to have such a special set! And much nicer than the manufactured stuff that sells for a fortune!
Mary you can’t imagine how many Frozen things I made!! For my girls, their friends, family, … but all of them are happy to have that special stuff no one else has. I need to keep up posting things!
Oh, your daughter must feel so proud to carry her own custom set of Frozen goodies, and to have a crafty mom like you! These turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Merry Monday! 🙂
Christine thanks for stopping by and comment! Love the party, see you next week
Wow!! Amazing job – it looks so professional. Great idea to apply varnish over the top to hold the image in place. It’s really great to upcycle & get the kiddies involved too 🙂 #WAYWOW x
Becky, varnish is a must when there are kids around!!
I love this! I have an (almost) three year old, who adores anything princess related. We haven’t watched Frozen yet, but I’m certain that she will be obsessed, but this is a great idea for any of the princesses…. I’m glad you shared it!
Be prepared for the Frozen fever, you’ll hear the song all day long!! Thanks for stopping by!
Pili, I love this! I worked as a cake designer when Frozen was HUGE, and we designed so many Frozen cakes. I designed one that was three cakes high with a staircase and a castle on top, it was covered in snow flakes and glitter, it was gorgeous! It is so cool that you did this with and for your daughters, they will have the talent for making things and know the value of a handmade gift! I love it.
Wow Nikki, that cake must have been awesome!! I think any girl would be crazy having one.
The girls prefer to make something than buy it; they say that no one is going to have another like it, and I love that way of thinking!
Thanks so cool, what a great mom you are!
This is so amazing! I’m curious though, how did you print the images? I’m guessing it’s not just a regular printer and paper. Either way, it came out beautiful and I’m so glad you shared it with me. #FridayFunday <3
Lissette, I print all the images at home on regular paper. I have a laser printer and it do wonders!!
Ha ha you are right, I have a toddler and it is all about frozen!!
Does she sing all day as well? Mine does! Thanks for stopping by, Hil
I’m sure that this will make any girl who loves Frozen a very happy kid. Thanks for sharing your ideas at the #AnythingGoes Link Party.
