Well, actually I am. I’m a new Hybrid Chickie, heehee.

Hello everybody~!!! My name is Sunghee and I am super excited to be here. I feel out of this world!  I’m going to show you how to make my version of the robot favor boxes.  I made a few different colors and themes to show you all the different possibilities for these cute little projects!  Don’t mind the scary looking little guy on the blue one…that’s just my Kyle, but he does look a bit scary!

For the first version of the box, I used the Space Dog Full Kit digital kit by TK Whimsy and the Top Heavy Box template by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs along with some glue, brads and basic cutting tools.

First, I printed out all the pieces on a sheet of paper.  The arms are made from the comet from the kit.  I flipped the image vertically to create the inside and outside of an arm.

Next, I cut out all the pieces and got them ready to go.  Just a little glue on one side of the arm…

Use a lamp or a lightbox to position, and attach it together.

Punch the hole on the side of the box, attach a brad and use that to attach your double-sided arms to each side of the box.

The perfect favor box for candies. Sweet!

For the next version, I printed the Top Heavy Box Template on cardstock papers. The screwdriver and wrench templates are Daddy’s Tools Blog Freebie from Kelleigh Ratzlaff.

Using some basic metal fasteners, I attached the wrench and screwdriver along with some other goodies.

A geeky robot.

Oh cool! An earring!

For my last little robot, I went with a boxer, complete with DumDum suckers for arms!  Isn’t it adorable?  Same template, same cardstock, just reversed.

Eyes are Basicgrey’s Magnetic Snaps. Self-adhesive ribbon from KI Memories.

As you can see, there are no limits for adding character to these robots.  You can add any embellishments to create almost any theme you can think of!

Here’s a shot of all three stacked up:

Hope this has given you some great ideas on how to create these fun projects for yourself!  Thanks for checking out my first post here at The Hybrid Chick!
