A Man Cave Survival Kit is a great way to personalize a gift that would be perfect for almost any dad. Whether Dad has a man cave, a man cave corner or is aspiring to have a man cave, a survival kit filled with all of his favorite edible treats is a great Father’s Day gift. It is actually very easy to make a brown cardboard case look like it is made out of worn leather with my easy technique.

Sponge Brush

Newspaper

Brown Paper Shred

Man Cave Treats

Instructions for the Man Cave Survival Kit

Step 1: Paint a small section of the cardboard case with a foam brush.



Step 2: Crumble a piece of newspaper or paper into a ball and dab the painted area with the paper while the paint is still wet. The texture of the paper will give the paint a worn leather look.



Step 3: Continue around the box, working in small sections. The crumbled paper takes some of the wet paint off leaving the texture design on the box.



Step 4: Print out the Man Cave text on parchment scrapbooking paper. Cut the paper the size to fit the inside of the box.



Step 5: Remove the metal prongs from the the rivet brads and glue them to the corners of the man cave label to give it that masculine look.



Step 6: Fill the box with brown shredded paper for the rustic look and add man cave treats.
