This cute little Craft Stick Trinket Box is a great place to store your small treasures or jewelry. It also make a wonderful gift for family or friend.

Trivia:

As any art teacher will tell you, the humble little sticks have within them the potential for becoming amazingly varied works of art. When combined with hot glue (I always used Elmer’s with the kids), or paint, cloth, and other decorative craft items, the results can be quite impressive. Source: Art Now and Then – Craft Stick Art
