Wedding Card Box

Well I needed a box for my gift cards at my upcoming wedding. I had this old box that was just for decoration and I didn't know what to do with it until now! I forgot to take a before picture but basically it looked the same except it was just black ribbon tied in a bow.

Here is after I jazzed it up!

I removed the old black ribbon and replaced with a purple ribbon

 and ivory on top with a silk flower all attached by hot glue.

Creative Juices are flowing!

So tomorrow we are celebrating Michael's sister's 8th birthday (a little early) and I was at a loss for what to buy for an 8 year old. Well I was meandering through Michaels today and I found this wooden jewelry box and a wooden photo frame...both pretty dull and basic. So I thought I am sure there is something I can do with this because she loves crafts. I bought a few supplies (i.e., paint, rhinestones, letters, paper flowers) and everything else I had in my scrapbooking pile.

Here is the before...

and after...

The picture frame was pretty much the same (unfinished wood and dull) I don't have a before but here's the after...

I was hesitant at first but I am so pleased with the product. I think this could be a great idea for anyone looking for a gift for a younger child or even someone who just appreciates crafts and DIY projects.

What get's your creative juices flowing
