Hey all! Today’s 3D project is probably one you’ve seen on Pinterest, but mine is a bit different. My perpetual birthday reminder box is reinforced to make it sturdier, so it will last longer. It is also wider, so you can store cards behind the month dividers. This perpetual birthday reminder box would make a wonderful gift, especially if you added a bunch of cards to it. With Mother’s day right around the corner…just sayin’.
