A Beginner's Ukulele Resource Kit

Ukulele Valentine Heart Box Papercraft

As promised the kit’s finished and posted! So print, cut, and glue stick your way into your uke-crazed sweetie’s heart with this sturdy little box. Fill it with chocolates, Jake Shimabukuro tickets, or last weekend’s oatmeal — they’ll not care as they’ll be busily cooing over your kind attentions. You, of course, will walk taller, look slimmer, and undoubtedly be recognized as a leader and quickly promoted to senior whatever-it-is-you-do-all-day just for having assembled this authentic, 100% accurate, playable mini-ukulele (that’s a lie and you know it — but it is a rather cute box).

Prototyping a ukulele Valentine’s box with removable lid (about 6” x 4” x 1.25”). I’m actually all thumbs when doing paper craft — glue covered thumbs, wrong bits stuck together; that level of ineptitude (rings oddly familiar, same can be said of my uke playing :D). Heck, even basics — cutting along lines, folding straight edges — it’s all a challenge. Doodling artwork (Adobe Illustrator) on my new-ish MacBook Air while enjoying a brew at local coffee spots? That I can do.

Aiming to have printable kit posted on Pizza by the end of this week.
