It’s hard to believe we’re entering the 4th year of the Mystery Box Challenges. The first one in March of 2020 was actually the last video I completed before Finn was born, so I’ll never forget it. Courtney (Creative on the Cheap) has done a great job at keeping this going and I’m so thankful because these videos are my favorite
This time around, my box came from Kelly (Kelly Barlow Creations) and I sent a box to Tracy (Country Charm By Tracy). Kelly did a great job putting together this box, but boy was it random – ha! I had a great time creating Spring + Easter decor from it. Here is the full lineup for the February 2023 Mystery Box Challenge!
THE MYSTERY BOX CHALLENGE: THE RULES
Each crafter gets a name – I got Tracy – and you shop for supplies to fill a box. This time around, it was an “anything goes” box. So we could shop anywhere, and spend between $20-$30 for the contents of the box. Then, typically, you add 2 items labeled as “challenge items.” Those are items that are tricky to DIY with. One hard rule is you must use the 2 challenge items somehow, but I always try to use all the items if I can.
Kelly then sent me a box (watch the video below to see what was inside) and then I had to craft with the contents. I’m proud to report, that I was successful in all the challenges! Check out my projects below and then the full video to see how these Dollar Tree high-end dupe crafts came together. Happy crafting!
One other element that has been added to these challenges has been Courtney’s challenge she gives us each time.
This Round’s “Twist”
This time around, each box sender had to choose the twist for their person. Here’s what Courtney sent us to pick from:
Option 1-Must work a plastic water bottle and one of the challenge items into the same DIY
Option 2-Must work these three elements into one DIY: wood, metal, plastic
Option 3-Send one of your projects you started, but never finished (Include a description of what the project was supposed to be so that the recipient can try and finish your vision.
Check out the video below to see what I had to complete from Kelly! It was a doozy!
