Step 1Cut three squares of cardstock: 6.5" , 6", and 3.5".
Make a Masu box with a lid from the larger two pieces of card stock.
Instructions for making the box are not included here, as there are slews of directions and videos on the web. Search: "Masu box with lid."
-
Step 2Glue the 3.5" square to the lid of the box, diagonally.
-
Step 3Make a tassel with the embroidery floss. Again, instructions are not included here but are easily found by searching "embroidery floss tassel."
Glue tassel to center of lid, covering string end with a small circle of cardstock.
-
Step 4Print or write your sentiment on lightweight white paper and trim to 2.75: x 6.5".
-
Step 5Roll up paper and currency together and tie with a small ribbon.
If you have a tiny rubber band (I used one from tooth braces) you can use that--with or without a ribbon.
