Hi Everyone its Bridget here again. Do you have a friend who is going through a tough time and needs a little cheering up? You could buy them some flowers, but why not bring them some sunshine in a box! This is a easy fun gift to make and give.
What you need:
A shoe box
Helmar's Craft and Hobby Glue
Helmar's Fabric Glue
Helmar's Premium Craft Glue
Scrapbooking paper
Paint
Embellishments
First thing I did I painted the lid of the shoebox a nice bright yellow. The idea is for the box to be bright and cheery so stick to the yellows.
I then used texture paste and a stencil, to add a pattern to the box.
Using Helmar's Fabric Glue I added some lace to the sides giving it a nice ruffle.
Using Helmar's Premium Craft Glue add your embellishments.
Then Using Helmar Craft and Hobby Glue cover the bottom of your box in scrapbooking paper. I had this cute sunshine paper in my stash.
Now for the really fun part! Whether you shop at home, head to the dollar stores or shop elsewhere It is time to focus on all things yellow.
Some ideas:
scented candle
bath bomb
chocolates and sweets
Lipbalms/cosmetics
jewellery
A little bottle of yellow/wine
nail polish
I am sure this box will put a smile on your friends face. I know I am excited to give this box to my friend and I hope this gives her a little pick-me-up.
If you make your friend a little box of sunshine, I would love to see your sunshine in a box. So please leave a comment below. Until next time Happy Crafting!
