A Fun Little Tutorial

Okay, I wanted to take a little Birthday gift to one of my sweet 'Quilt Retreat' friends the other night. But the gift was so microscopic-small, that I felt like I had to give it in a special little package.

So I took one of those M.E. $1.00 boxes from Michael's, an old Christmas ornament (cupcake), and some paper supplies. I felt like the box was too shallow to look special, so I used some thin cardboard to make it a little taller.

I taped it in place after I had the desired height.

Here's the little, tiny gift I was giving her.

Another view of the box, taller.
Next, I wanted to disguise the cardboard with paper.

I added some border stickers...

Popped in the necklace, used a cute font to type, "Make a Wish".

Hot glued the cupcake, candle, Wish Flag and crepe paper frill at the top,and here you have the finished product. I was very happy with it. : )

Hope your birthday was a happy one, Leslie. : )
Did any of you buy this stuff at Hobby Lobby right after Easter? I just knew I would put them to good use.
Here's a peek. I'll show you the whole project on my next post. Oh, the fun I had making this one.
