Wedding Gift Box with Jenifer Cowles

I needed a quick box for a wedding I was attending recently and this turned out just perfect.  Using 8 doilies I accordion folded them into quarters and hot glued them onto a circle to make a fun layered doily flower.  I stacked a flower on a button for a center.  A sprig of stamens and some wire string and I was ready to go with a fun custom box in just the colors I needed.

(Note: The shop is temporarily closed, but will reopen soon.  Thank you for your patience.)

Spring Gift Box with Jess Mutty

This spring gift box started with a kraft box that I covered in paper.  I wrapped the box with the seam binding in such a way that it will still open at the top when you untie the bow. 

The top cover has a pretty cluster of embellishments: paper doily, ruffled fabric flower, smaller fabric flower, a couple glitter banner pieces, and a sweet burlap butterfly.  

And the oval glitter frame on the front makes a perfect little raised area for a small sentiment.  

I'm thinking this is going to hold a little something special for Mom on Mother's Day but it would be lovely for a spring birthday too!
