Delicious Little Gift Boxes

Look: tiny little gift or presentation boxes!

Aren't they the sweetest?  Made from those powdered drink mix containers from the grocery store:

I already 'splained a way to use the body of the container to make these cuff bracelets...

Now how about turning the rest of the container into a teeny, embellishable gift box?

For the super simple DIY, read on...



Step one.  Cut the end off the container about an inch from the bottom, like so...

Pop the lid back onto your newly-short-n-stumpy container, and voila!  A sexy little box, of a cuteness most extraordinary.

Er, well, jeesh.  That's the whole tutorial.  Now it's up to you to play - with glue, string, buttons, fleurs, what-have-you!  Go on with your bad self, and embellish your box in any one of ten gazillion ways.

By the way, these little darlings are beautifully stackable - what a nice bonus!

That's about the size of it.  Let me know what you think...

Hope you all are carpe-ing every diem of this lovely month, as summer begins its long, slow descent into autumn.  Savor it, my dears!   It's going fast.
