Cute 3D Pirate Box Perfect for Parties
Do you ever just see something so cute that you have to make it even though you have no reason to make it? Yeah. Me too. That’s how this pirate box came to be. I saw it in the Silhouette store and thought it was adorable. It would be PERFECT for a pirate party! Plus, it goes great with my stamp!
I used my Silhouette Cameo and some scrap paper from my stash to create everything except the box. I used a full sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 white cardstock for that. The file came sized bigger than 8-1/2 x 11 but I shrank it down until it fit. If you need any help using the Silhouette, check out my tutorials.
Today I’m using a Clear Adhesive glue by Art Glitter. It works great on paper and is perfect for doing detail work, like that tiny strip of hair.
I’m using Versafine Onyx Black ink along with Joy’s Life You’re So Punny Stamps to create the tag. I cut the tag out by hand.
I think I’ll add this to a gift for my nephew’s birthday. It’s great for adding candy or a small gift…like chocolate gold coins!
Here’s this cutie from the side! I used a silver metallic paper for the sword.
He’s so cute I want to throw a pirate party!

Thank you, Rosie! 🙂
Joy,
You are so right, he is just too cute. I saw him when they had their sale, came close, but some other images took priority. My neice loves pirates, a Johnny Depp thing, so I know she would love it. By the way, did your metal glue tip come with the glue? Do you like that glue for very intricate cuts? I am presently using the Quickie glue pen, but it dries too fast, and although I love my Elmer’s, the opening is just too big, and using a toothpick is too time consuming. Can you tell I need help?
Hi Blue Rose,
I really do like that glue for intricate cuts. I bought it at a craft show last summer and have been really, really pleased with it. I’m glad you asked about that metal tip. I forgot that I bought that piece separately. I’m happy that they sell it on Amazon because I haven’t found it anywhere else. Here’s a link to the metal tip. You don’t have to use the metal tip with the glue but it’s perfect if you need to glue small areas. This adhesive is very strong (for paper) too. I highly recommend it! Another of my favorites is Zip Dry Paper glue but I don’t use it for intricate work. I hope that helps! 🙂
