Maker Bento Boxes. Completed. Top view of box filled with maker supplies.

I created these custom gift boxes for my nieces and nephew for Christmas 2020. These “maker bentos” as I dubbed them are a simple construction made from craft store gift boxes, cardboard dividers sized for items to-be-included, and covered in green felt prior to final assembly. Spacing and height adjustment were managed using felt-covered EVA foam.

Boxes filled and ready to send.
