A great gift box for Christmas
I saw this favor box on BHG and loved it. I adored it. But most of all, I thought that it was perfect for Christmas. I give so many jewelry pieces that I am always looking for creative ways to wrap.
And knowing that I can run out and pick up bags and bags of faux pearls and use my glue gun to pile them up on the lid of all the spare boxes I have sitting around made this picture all the better.
This idea wouldn’t be limited to faux pearls. You could cruise through the dollar store and see what is available to use in the same manner. Little ornaments, tiny toys, all sorts of items might just spring out at you.
And if you wanted to do this for Valentine’s Day, you could use those horrible conversation hearts that no one should ever be eating. The concept is just fantastic and it really lends itself so well to so many things.
I’m actually looking forward to using this for Christmas this year. I was thinking about doing one with dog bones for the kennel owner, but realized that the dogs would never leave that alone. I guess I’ll stick with pearls.

speaking of gift boxes, we should have made pictures of the one I did for the baby shower at your house. The one where it looked like a hobby horse.
Oh, and I am so laughing right now. The “two words” that I must type to verify this comment - missiles and public
What are you saying Kat?
