DIY Pretty Little Gift Ideas For Teachers, Friends and Family

I have a few more "box challenge" ideas for you today. These cute little gift ideas are from my blogging friend, Melissa Newell of My Party Passion.

Here Melissa used my white Breeve Gable Box and embellished it with scrapbook paper, twine and a fun cut out. Fill this little cutie with wrapped candies and gift cards, a perfect gift for your favorite teacher during teacher appreciation week or anytime during the school year!

Using another plain white Breeve Gable Box, Melissa created the perfect treat for a crafty friend. The box is decorated with scrapbook paper, ribbon and a cute tag. Inside some crafting embellishments like brads, buttons, washi tape, decorative clothes pins and a votive.

Last but not least using a plain Kraft Petal Box, a sweet birthday surprise for an adult friend. Not only did Melissa decorate the outside of the box with scrapbook paper, but also inside flaps. Fill the box with wrapped candies, a decorative magnet, a mini bottle of alcohol and a shot glass. This would make a fun bachelorette gift too! 

What little goodies do you think would be fun gifts to go inside my Mini favor boxes?

DIY Fringed Mexican Chip Boxes

I recently challenged some fellow bloggers to decorate some of my blank mini favor boxes. So far I have been blown away by the creative ways they have decorated these plain white or kraft colored boxes and what they have put inside.

The first idea I would like to share is from Brenda of Brenda's Wedding Blog . She used my white petal boxes to create these DIY fringed mexican chip boxes, perfect for a Fiesta!

Here is what Brenda had to say about creating these boxes:

For this mini favor box challenge, I used a Pamela Smerker Designs' white petal box with fringed crepe paper that I glued around the sides, overlapping the colors. I then painted both sides of the petal flaps with matching colors, lined the box with wax paper and placed in corn chips. It's now the perfect individual serving of chips for guests to dip in guacamole or bean dip. This cute little "take-out box" of sorts, is perfect for upcoming Cinco de Mayo parties and especially perfect for taco bars at weddings and pre-wedding events. The colors can of course be changed to match the party.

Thank you Brenda for sharing your creative talents and this fun project!

Have a festive weekend friends!
DFTBA,
PS
