Card Box

Abbie, on April 22, 2021 at 08:40 Posted in DIY 0 15
Did anyone use this box from Michaels for their wedding? It’s on clearance so I want to snap it up, but the reviews are pretty mixed.


Also, if you used it, did you customize it? Would be looking to hand paint some details.

    Thank you so much! I’ve gone down the Etsy rabbit hole - so many beautiful ones, but so expensive!

    Thank you so much! Smiley smile that’s a huge help! What a bummer that you can’t add a lock...I guess I’ll need to keep looking! Smiley smile

    Here are a few pictures. Looks like you can not add a lock to it.

    I can't remember. I actually bought mine last year as we were supposed to be married July 2020. I will check when I send you the picture later.

    That is such a great idea. The size of it would fit quite a bit inside. Hmmm now you have me thinking. Smiley smile

    I can’t quite tell from the pictures, would you be able to lock it with a hanging lock?

    I will post a picture for you tonight. It it pretty sturdy overall however the lid seems like it may fall off if its opened or closed too many times. I am pretty happy with it overall and look forward to using it once we can have a wedding reception.

    Thank you! I don’t have any experience with vinyl but I do with acrylics, and figured they were a whole different beast but I’m relieved to have you confirm that! Might have to just take a chance since I’ll have to order it, but I figure I can always return it to a Michaels if it comes in all dinged up! Smiley smile

    Oh that’s good to know! Sounds like several of them are dinged up and it just depends on the particular box you get! Do you have any pics of your one? I’ll have to order it online as they don’t have any in Nova Scotia stores so I guess it’ll be a gamble! At least with a corporation I can always return it in store....does it seem fairly sturdy?

    I bought this one in the dark colored wood, on clearance as well. When I bought it I thought it would be better quality however the scratches and dings actually make it look more rustic in my opinion. I will also be painting some stuff on it I think so it will completely change the look. If you are thinking budget and your own personalization, I would go for it.

    I won't be using this one, but reading the reviews it sounds like the people that tried personalizing it were all using vinyl decals. I work with vinyl and there are just some materials that it won't stick to, but will nevertheless take the paint off if it's not finished properly. So I think as long as you're hand painting the personalizations then you'll be fine. But I do notice that Michael's isn't always the best when it comes to scratches or any other deficiencies if you're not picking out the product yourself. That's a personal experience, so don't let that completely deter you, just something to be aware of.
