This week's quick upcycled project (tutorial)





Hello friends, these days I'm really into quick decorated boxes so that I can

1. Upcycle my pile of boxes.
2. Use up my little bits and bobs.
3. Be totally ready for last-minute gift boxes.

Here's this week's quick upcycled project using a TWG tea box.


I love the sturdy cardboard box so I just cut a piece of patterned paper large enough to cover the logo at the front and the side panel at the back. I went with a patterned paper with embossed glitter so that I can minimize on the embellishments.


Then I went into my remnant lace trim box and picked out some black ribbon blooms too.


Then I took out my hot glue gun and adhered the trim along the sides of the box.


For the front opening of the box, I went in with a silver tassel, tied some lace trim around it for extra textured interest and the ribbon blooms.


There you have it...a quick upcycled gift box. I think it turned out really elegant. What do you think?
