How to Make a DIY Man Cave Gifts (Survival Kit)
Step 1: Paint a small section of the cardboard case with a foam brush.
Step 2: Crumble a piece of newspaper or paper into a ball and dab the painted area with the paper while the paint is still wet. The texture of the paper will give the paint a worn leather look.
Step 3: Continue around the box, working in small sections. The crumbled paper takes some of the wet paint off leaving the texture design on the box.
Step 4: Print out the Man Cave text on parchment scrapbooking paper. Cut the paper the size to fit the inside of the box.
Step 5: Remove the metal prongs from the rivet brads and glue them to the corners of the man cave label to give it that masculine look.
Step 6: Fill the box with brown shredded paper for the rustic look and add man cave treats to finish your Man Cave Survival Kit.
