American Package Design Awards 2025
“Mini Makers is a conceptual packaging project that resulted from the prompt to create packaging for a kit of various items.”
Mini Makers is a conceptual packaging project that resulted from the prompt to create packaging for a kit of various items. I made an art kit for children whose packaging is a part of the craft activity in the name of sustainability. I made a paint-your-own-house with two characters, instructions, a paintbrush, and eight colors vertically stacked upon each other. On the back of the instructions are illustrations of flowers and a bumblebee that can be painted and stand to work as a garden to the home. A circular hole at the top of the packaging serves as a handle and a spotlight for the house. The box splits into two sides, with die-cut windows and an arched door. There is a small hole in the middle of both paint containers, so the brush can be placed upside down to reduce messiness. This design is playful and imaginative, and the possibilities are endless!
