I have a fun and easy craft for you today.  I’m going to show you how to make a Trinket Box out of Popsicle Sticks.  A trinket box is great for holding little things like rings, earrings, candy, coins…. those type of little things.  These type of things are called trinkets and a trinket box is kept to store these small things as to not lose them.  This trinket box makes for a great gift for someone special or keep it for yourself.  The choice is yours.  Now let’s get started.
