That was brilliant!!! So much prettier than the gift boxes at stores that run well over $3 each!
What's also very cool about this is that you can make one anytime and show some unplanned and unexpected generosity. I can see making one the day you run out of butter, making some cookies, and taking them to a friend just because. I love it!!!
Thank you so much...this is such a lovely gift and timely since Mother's Day is only a short while away- I think that this would be very feminine as a Mother's Day wrapping.
This is a wonderful idea! I recently bought some butter in the 8 oz. packages (2 cubes) because it was on sale and so it is already the perfect size! I am looking forward to trying this out! Yours looks so pretty! Blessings,
Thank you Lady Lydia for such wonderful inspiration. I so enjoy visiting your site daily. Thank you for being such a blessing. Dorothy in sunny Mesa, AZ
For any Bumphrey fans out there, my daughter has updated her blog and posted a current story about these strange cousins, at www.thepleasanttimes.blogspot.com I have been quite busy at home but hope to post again soon.
Wallpaper would work nicely, too and maybe wouldn't do the wrinkling so much as thinner papers. I always seem to have odd shaped wall paper left overs.
I like the textured bottom that you have on the Cheerios box. I think you must have taken that from the pretty placemat? I have textured wallpapers that might be pretty to use that way, too.

This is a lovely craft. It's very easy to follow. I may work on something similar with my children. Thanks for the viseo.
I will be adding one more: the largest gift bag made from a cereal box.

That's a cute idea!
