gift boxes

• Burlap

STEP 1 Decide on which box size you need for your gift.

STEP 2 Cut the burlap to desired thickness and glue on the inside of box lid with the hot glue gun. This way, it is easy to open the box without ruining the look of the box.

STEP 3 Choose what words you would like to put on your presents and use a pencil to lightly draw that word onto a wooden flourish. Draw over that word with black fine liner pen to make it stand out.

STEP 4 Pull apart the faux floristry and leaves, and create little bouquets to put on top of your presents. Use a small amount of the hot glue to glue the stems together, or tie together with twine.

STEP 5 Now you can decorate your different gift boxes with combinatio­ns of all the different elements you have created. For more project inspiratio­n, head to spotlights­tores.com
