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 Melanie (Simple Made Pretty) and I sent a box to Kelly (Kelly Barlow Creations). Melanie did a great job putting together this box, but boy was it random – ha! I had a great time creating Spring + everyday home decor from it. Here is the full lineup for the April 2023 Mystery Box Challenge!
THE MYSTERY BOX CHALLENGE: THE RULES
Each crafter gets a name – I got Kelly– and you shop for supplies to fill a box. This time around, it was a Dollar Tree box, so I had to shop at Dollar Tree for the contents of the box – 7-10 items. 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.
Melanie 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 crafter had to create one project without any adhesive whatsoever. I think I did pretty good – you’ll have to watch and see!
