Default What would you make for "open crafts"?

We're in an RV park that has "open crafts" once a week for 2 hours, where people drop in to make things. The actual crafts vary each time, like jewellery, belts made from pop can tabs, bingo nuts, iron on bling, etc.

I've been asked to lead a paper craft once each month for the next three months. I've done cards a few times before, but would like to try something different. I'm thinking maybe triangle boxes one month, but would love ideas what else I could make.

Has to be really easy, since a lot will be beginners/seniors, quick to make, and economical since I will have to bring the supplies. I have a Cricut, Cuttlebug, tons of stamps, DP and CS along with many other tools.

Ideas, anyone? Links to photos/tutorials are definitely welcome!

9kids......I saw a cool project to make the other day on one of these threads called a Photo Wallet. There are evidently several versions of the project, but this one was done with 8.5x11 paper. It looked like a really neat idea. I have to admit I have not tried it yet, but would like to use it in one of my classes I teach at Michaels and AC Moore. Looks rather simple.

I have the instructions that were given on the thread, but don't know how to post them here. I saved them as a MS Word document. Perhaps if you did a search on this site you might find them. There seemed to be several versions from the conversation on the thread I had been reading. (Again, sorry, I just don't remember which thread I had been reading at the time. Perhaps someone else can give more info.)

Default what about a gift box?

There is a really easy tutorial video on , I think, Nichole Heady's blog to make a gift box from 2 pieces od 12 x 12 paper. it took me 10 minutes, quick and easy and not much in the way of supplies. I'll try to find a link for you

http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capt...2007/05/1.html

Nichole stamped her paper, but I used patterned scrapbook papers. i also made a tiny box for a small gift by using 6x6 papers as my base.
