A Berry Special Box

My daughter asked me the other day if I would make a little gift box for her friend’s birthday.  I have no idea what she plans to put in this box…or if she’ll even end up using it, but it was fun to make.

A while back I picked up a couple of these little note paper boxes, thinking someday I’d do something with them.  Well, I blew the dust off (lol) and finally did do something (with one of them, anyway).

It was fairly easy to cover the box with the patterned paper.  I used a single-sided print so the paper would be easier to tuck beneath the bright pink sides.  Along the bottom, I did have to pry the side away from the base just a bit to fold the paper over and under.

The focal image is attached to the band that holds the box closed.  And I used a Bow Easy to form my Strawberry Shortcake-ish bow.  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
