A Hockey Puck Box Craft Project

Hockey Puck Boxes

These hockey puck boxes are great stocking stuffers. They also generate a lot of interest from little boys when shown at craft fairs!  Because they're so easy to make, and economical too, they make great craft projects for children to make for themselves.  One word of caution, however. Be ready to clean up the spills of black paint!

Supplies

• 1 small, round box. These are sold at Michaels Arts and Craft Store and at other craft stores as well.
• Black craft paint
• Brush or foam brush to apply the paint
• A small quantity of red felt, sold at craft stores. Alternatively, you could use red paper or red fabric
• Small wooden skates, as sold at craft stores
• Hockey stickers
• Scissors
• Pencils

Decorating your Hockey Puck Box

Box painted and lined with red felt

1. Paint your box inside and out with black craft paint. Provide as many coats as needed to completely cover box. Allow to dry thoroughly.
2. Place your box on plain paper and trace a circle the same size as the box. Cut this out. Using this circle as a template, cut two circles from red felt.
3. Glue the red felt circles to the inside of the box lid and to the inside of the box bottom.
4. Glue the skate to the top of the box, lying flat, or to the side of the rim so it extends upwards over the top. Refer to picture above.
5. Add hockey stickers are desired.

Suggestions for Personalizing your Hockey Puck Box

Want to make your hockey puck box more personal? Try one of these ideas:

1. Line the bottom of the box with a photo of your little hockey player
2. Line the bottom of the box with a photo of your hockey fan's favorite hockey player
3. Use red alphabet stickers and add the name of your hockey fan's favorite team around the outside circular edges of the box
4. Using red stickers, add your hockey fan's name to the outside of the box. Call him or her the MVP.
