Although these little boxes can be made
for any occasion, I thought they were
especially cute for Mother's Day!
I came across a tutorial and instead
of reinventing the wheel,
here's a link to the tutorial.
And here are a couple of pics to show how easy it is to put this little box together!
Then add your decorative paper around the box.
And embellish to your taste,
I stamped a flower and cut it
out with a circle punch
and then backed it with
coordinating card stock also
circle punched.
I used a 1", 1 1/2" & 1 3/8" circle punch.
Tie a pretty ribbon and voila!
Imagine, Improvise & Invent
