Felt pretty good when my wonderful niece asked me if I would make a card box for her friend's 16th birthday.
I have made a few before, and even though they are FAR from perfect, I always have a fun time making them.
Almost ANYTHING goes when making a card box.
I think that's why I enjoy making them so much, a lot of creativity goes into it.
My husband brought me home a box from work.
For this box, I wanted it to have separate lid.
I painted it with gray primer spray paint.
And used Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint for the "Tiffany" color.
I added some white ribbon.
Which I attached in separate pieces for the bottom of the box and the lid...
So that the lid was able to be easily lifted off.
I just used my awesome tape gun for this part.
BEFORE I attached my bow,
I cut a hole for the cards.
Then I attached my bow with some more tape.
I used my cricut and cut out the name of the girl who's turning 16.
And called it finished.
I think it turned out super cute.
Not perfect by any means, esp using a cardboard box.
If you want perfection, Just use a wood box.
I went the cheap route, because, well because I am cheap. LOL
On a different note...
I added this photo from my computer 4x, and EVERY time, it shows up here sideways.
It is NOT Like this on my computer. LOL
What in the world is making this happen?! Oh well...
