This Decorative Gift Jar is the perfect way to present any little gift of appreciation. You could fill your gift jar with freshly baked cookies, candy, a pretty piece of jewelry and so much more. There are always times where you need a sweet and simple gift for someone. A hostess gift, a friendly neighbor, or for someone you think could use a little pick-me-up.

The first thing you will need to do to create this project is gather your materials (listed above).

Step 1: Using the ⅛” hole punch, punch a hole in your chalkboard heat and run the red and white baker’s twine through.

Step 2: I used my hot glue gun to add my large decorative button to the Red & White Polka Dot Ruffle Flower.

Step 3: Again I used my hot glue gun to attach the white pom pom ribbon to the wooden lid of the jar.

 Headed to a New Year's Eve party and need to give the host or hostess something with a bit of sparkle?  Kim hand painted the stripes on our muslin bags with a metallic finish acrylic paint. She topped the bags off with colorful sewn pennant.


Our muslin bags can be found here in the shop:




This year has been a wonderful one here at the Curtsey Boutique and we can't wait to see what next year brings.

Be safe and have fun tonight!

Gold Spray Painted Christmas Gift Boxes
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Kim Stewart

Kim used our 2x2x2, 4x4x4 krafts boxes and kraft tape to decorate these pretty gifts.

She spray painted the boxes a beautiful shade of gold and loved how they came out. Kim used the star burst labels as masks on the boxes. She adhered them and than spray painted over them. The kraft boxes have a bit of a finish to them so removing the labels was mess free. Once the stickers were removed they left the star burst shape in the kraft color, contrasting nicely with the gold spray paint.

The bow was made using our kraft tape. Kim folded sections of tape into loops and than layered each loop one on top of another until she liked the way it looked.  The bow was also spray painted.

The final touch on the smaller box was one of our snowflake rosettes that was also hit with a bit of gold spray paint.
