Cricut: How to Make a New Baby Keepsake Box
There are so many precious items to keep hold of when you have a little one, this keepsake box is ideal for making sure they're stored safe and sound, to look back on in years to come.
The Cricut adhesive vinyl sampler packs are ideal for creating this personalised project, the packs include various 12 x 12" sheets of adhesive vinyl that compliment each other a treat! We've used removable vinyl for this project, which means elements can be removed (up to two years after application) if you want to add new shapes and text as your little ones grows.
