Hello all, it’s Terhi Koskinen here for the first time and I just couldn’t be more excited! All my dreams have become true and now I’m actually posting my first project here to American Crafts blog, what a huge honor.
As the time of Halloween and Thanksgiving is full of parties and other events, I thought to use the amazing Goldenrod collection to create some easy treats to give away for party participants. What would be nicer than a small handmade box filled with sweets, tiny jewelry or maybe just a handwritten note telling something special for your favorite people.
There are two easy ways to create boxes like mine. You can either use the We R Memory Keepers Scoreboard and follow the instruction written to the backside of the board. Or then grad a ruler and scissors and start folding and cutting.
I ended up using the Scoreboard as it’s always on my table and folding is so easy with it. And in addition, I didn’t have think any numbers or measures, just followed the dimensions said on the instructions. Five minutes and first box was already done!
After creating the boxes I got to the phase I love the most: decorating. The Goldenrod collection includes so many beautiful patterns and designs, so it was hard to pick the products to go with. I decided to go with the big white flowers from “Raleigh Floral” patterned paper. The same paper is repeated in smaller form in the 6x6 paper pad, you can see those small flowers on top of each gift box. The flowers I used are all cut out from papers, but they are available in the Goldenrod ephemera and stickers too.
Another main embellishment is the Goldenrod Clothespins, I just love the way the give a whole new look to the gift boxes! I used the Clothespins to hang the cards I wrote to go with the boxes.
This kind of addition to your party decoration is easy and quite quick to do. It also serves as a small goodie bag to your guests, everyone enjoys small gifts!
I hope you are inspired by the idea of this kind of party favors.
