Baby girl gift box (a tutorial)



So one of my cousins (who married a French dude) is having a baby girl....so I got her a few baby pressies (you know me, always to striving to be every kid's fave aunt...*winks*) that of course, had to be housed in a cute gift box too. :)


I started with a pink gift box from Kikki K that I covered with pink baby girl patterned paper (I knew I was hoarding this for a reason! Haha!). I measured the papers, cut them to size then ran them through my Xyron Creative Station for an even layer of adhesive. Next I went in with some Maya Road pearl trim along the edges of the box.


I really wanted to use this ornate Maya Road frame so I decided to make my own little embellishment using a birdie sticker (poor birdie had to be cut down to size to fit the frame) and Ranger Glossy Accents.


Next I added coloured threads to the mini spools.


Once I was happy with the embellishment cluster arrangement, I stuck them down with a hot glue gun.


It turned out quite sweet, eh? :)
