Small Box
Difficulty - Easy
This design is best suited for a tall box
Materials
- White wrapping paper
- Pink sponged craft or scrapbooking paper
- Multi-colored glossy raffia (white, pink and red)
- 12 small foam heart stickers in multiple colors
- 1 medium sized pink rhinestone
Instructions
- Wrap a box in white wrapping paper.
- Cut a 1-1/2 inch wide piece of the pink craft paper the length to
wrap around the entire box plus 1 inch.
- If the craft paper is not long enough to wrap around the entire
box, tape two pieces together on the wrong side of the paper to achieve
the desired length.
- Using double-sided tape, tape the inside of the craft paper in even
intervals at the edges. Apply to the box, centering the paper evenly
on the top of the box and overlapping the ends on the bottom of the
box.
- Peel the backing off the foam heart stickers and attach 4 hearts
in alternating colors on each side of the box. Change the direction
of the hearts on the 3rd heart on the top of the box (as shown below)
so the hearts will be facing the correct direction going down the
other side of the box.
- Wrap the raffia 4 times continuously around the box and tie on one
the middle strings, leaving a few inches for tails. Don't worry if
ribbon crosses on the bottom of the box.
- Feed each tail under the ribbons and tie a knot to cinch the ribbons
together.
- To make the bow, hold the ribbon about 6 inches from the end with
your thumb and form a loop. Securing the loop with your thumb, form
another loop on the opposite side of the first loop. Continue this
motion, holding each new loop with your thumb, until you have 8 loops
on each side.
- Tie the bow to the package using the ribbon tails.
- Separate the loops from each other and fluff the bow. Closely trim
the ends of the knot and then trim the ribbon tails to the desired
length.
- Glue the pink rhinestone onto the middle of the bow.
