hello hello hello. i wanted to share this artsy thing i did bc i'm happy w how it turned out. so. i wanted to do a cute/thoughtful thing for my friend's birthday so i figured i'd do a box w little things that she would like. however, i didn't have any cute boxes so i decided to be resourceful & decorate a box
supplies:
- small box
- large paper bag (from abercrombie)
- scissors
- tape
- spray adhesive glue
- permanent marker/black ink pen
steps:
- cut the bag so that it can be laid out flat
- find a section of the bag big enough to cover certain sections of the box
- cut it out so that it can fit on the side of the box (it can be a little larger- you can always trim)
- spray the adhesive glue on the box (use tape if necessary)
- put the plain/blank side of the section of the bag onto the glue & let dry
- continue to wrap/glue bag until it covers the outside of the box
- trim any extra edges & tape down any loose flaps
- decorate the box w the pen/marker
after finishing the exterior of the box, i decorated the inside. the first thing i did was paint over anything in the box that i did not want (there were words & decorations already). then i cut out paper balloons & glued them on. i wrote "happy birthday" & put stickers to spell out her name
then i found put the little gifts inside
included in the box:
- mickey & minnie mouse tsum tsums
- pink beaded bracelet
- dreamcatcher necklace
- little homemade keychain
- pins: harry potter, tangled, the beatles, pink floyd
- card/note explaining stuff in the box
she went gaga over the hand-designed "henna" on the outside of the box & absolutely loved the little gifts. she really likes hand-made/thoughtful kind of gifts so it was pretty perfect for her
