card/money box [wedding diy]

i wanted a really nice card/money box
and all the ones on etsy were expensive
and some weren't even big enough.

of course i decided to make my own!
you didn't even have to ask!

i started with a medium cardboard box.
i didn't want to buy white wrapping
paper, so i found some christmas paper
and used the back side of it and wrapped the box.

next i punched holes in the top for the windmills
and made a slit for the cards.
