This wine box design is heavily inspired by Matt Kenney’s work and his book, “52 Boxes in 52 Weeks”.
Why make a wine box? When we got married we had what’s called a wine box ceremony. It’s a modern ritual where during your wedding you seal up a bottle of wine inside a box along with love letters written to one another. Five years later on your anniversary you open the box, drink the wine, and read the letters! We just had our five year anniversary and we really enjoyed opening our first box, drinking the wine together, and reliving the memories of our wedding. As the bottle neared empty and our creativity soared, we thought it would be a really fun project to build a new wine box together for our next five years of adventures.
A wine box is also a great Christmas and holiday gift for your friends and loved ones. With our design, the removable divider makes it easy to repurpose the box as well, giving it even more utility.
If you make a wine box inspired by this project, tweet us a picture! We’d love to check it out.
