It’s hard to believe we’re on 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 Val (Auntie Coo Coo) and I sent a box to Jamie (The Crafty DIY Guy). And let me tell you – Val sent me some great items! I can’t wait to show you what I madeHere is the full lineup for the August 2023 Mystery Box Challenge!
THE MYSTERY BOX CHALLENGE: THE RULES
Each crafter gets a name and you shop for supplies to fill a box. This time around, it was a Dollar Tree box, so I would go to 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.
Val then sent me a box (watch the video below to see what was inside) and then I had to craft with the contents. She sent me some great new arrivals for Dollar Tree Fall 2023!
One other element that has been added to these challenges has been Courtney’s challenge she gives us each time.
This Round’s “Twist”
Courtney told us we had to use 1 challenge item plus some cardboard from the box together in the same project. You’ll have to watch to see how I did!
