Last minute wrapping so here is an idea for decorating a wine box, although the decorations could just as easily be used on any box if you adjust the embellishments to the appropriate size. If the recipient is lucky the bottle will be champagne, in which case it may well come in a box, but if not you can make one using your score board and instructions from Crafters Companion wine bottle box on YouTube. Sorry but I do not have the time to go through this process now, maybe in the new year.
I have used this for items other than wine, such as candles, large body creams etc, and here are a few ideas to make it special, using the stars that were used to make the wreath (see Star Wreath posted 30th November, Day 12 of the 12 Days of Gifts)
Next we have a cut-out star This is cut from a die recently purchased, you cut 2 and place together, the lazer pattern makes it quite striking.
You may be able to see I have adjusted the size slightly for this box. The polar bear family are back and the star has beads dangling.
The next box has been made from wallpaper. I like to use recycled papers if possible and this wall paper has a lovely modern colour with a traditional print. It is not a Christmas theme, so can be used all year round.
The stars were made from some papers that colour-match and a silver bell added to the top. I think I may well add some beads to the centre of the stars for added bling before use.
Back soon with some more gift wrapping ideas.
