Do you every need that last minute gift for someone who drops by or, a small little gift for a neighbor, or co-worker? This is what I came up with. I found these boxes at our local Dollar store. There are two boxes per pack, a 4" square and a 3" square. They are heavy cardboard and come with the shiny red paper already on them. I then used my Nestablitites to punch out the labels and frames. I used my ODB stamps for the Bible verses. I added various ribbons, flowers, garland and stamped images to decorate the boxes. I plan to add homemade cookies and candies for the inside. This is a fast, fun, homemade, gift that will let someone know you think they are special. In these hard economic times this is an inexpensive way to share a gift. Hope you like this idea and it helps you to look for some 'homemade' fun.
I am entering these boxes at the following challenges:
Gonna go to the dollar store tomorrow! Great idea but I don't have to make the cookies right?
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome... love the 1$store! You decorated them beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful & what a great idea !!! Everyone loves a little homemade gift & even better when it has something edible inside ... I'd be happy to just have the box as it is absolutely wonderful with your added images & embellishments ...
ReplyDeleteI just love boxes to decorate! I love making them...but if I can find them already made at a good price...why make them. This is a wonderful idea!
