Dusti says: "I have a hard time throwing away scrapbook
packaging that I can re-use for a different purpose. For this project,
I used American Crafts clamshell packaging that holds chipboard
pieces. I used the cardboard insert as a template to cut out the
patterned paper. I added M&M candies and patterned paper to the
inside of the clamshell package. I glued the butterfly chipboard
pieces to the outside. My daughters will be giving these to their
friends with little notes on the back."
This is an awesome idea for reusing the packaging! And I love the idea about customizing them with letter stickers. Thanks for sharing, Dusti!
