Papier Mache Treasure Chests - Pack of 6

The Papier Mache Treasure Chests - Pack of 6 are a wonderful and engaging craft resource, perfect for a range of creative projects and gift-giving occasions. Made from strong, durable papier mache, these mini chests are lightweight and easy for children to handle and decorate, while maintaining their shape over time.

Each chest is supplied plain and ready for children to personalise using acrylic paint, glitter, sequins, foam shapes, stickers, or decoupage. These versatile boxes are ideal for transforming into a jewellery box, pin holder, keepsake container, or a treasure prop for a pirate-themed play.
