I have a really simple project for you today that is perfect not only for Valentines Day, but for birthdays, mothers day, etc.
I am sure you have all seen this little cardboard type boxes at your local craft shop right?
They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, even heart shaped ones.
I thought these were perfect for my son's teacher and bus driver to show a little love this
Valentines Day.
Here is how I fancied them up a bit…..
I started by using adhesive backed ribbon by Martha Stewart.
I love all her products, and I love that this is actual ribbon.
You could use washi tape for this project as well if you prefer.
I simply covered the lids of the boxes with the ribbon until every inch was covered.
{sorry, I got carried away and didn't get a picture along the way}
For the bottoms of the boxes I chose some coordinating scrapbook paper,
measured, and simply glued on.
I love this green heart paper.
Here are my strips for the side of the round box.
On the round box I ran short on paper, so I used more ribbon tape and clamped the whole thing until
the glue was dry.
To finish off the corners on the small rectangular box, I used the ribbon again.
I also finished off the bottom of each box and the under side of each lid.
Each box got tissue and some heart shaped brownies, recipe coming soon!
I found this great giant fabric flower in just the right
color and added it to the top of the big round one.
I myself love getting homemade gifts, and I hope they will love these too.
I also wanted to announce the winner of the Hamilton Beach durathon iron.
Dixie Delights is the lucky winner!
Congratulations on your win, I will be emailing you shortly.
xoxo
