Getting Ready for Christmas!

Yes I am already on the lookout for great Christmas ideas. I don't do very well following tutorials, however I saw this one over at Kay's Creations on Paper and had to give it a try. Kay has made some very cute Christmas boxes and was kind enough to set up this easy to follow tutorial for them. If you want to copy her creation exactly, you can purchase a kit for $1.00 per box plus shipping and handling. Seems pretty reasonable to me! I may purchase some kits because I love her color combinations and matching tags. Kay has many other great ideas at her blog. Definitely worth checking out!


This is my sample. They will get better as I go along. (I didn't have a scallop edge to use and this is not Christmas paper.) I look forward to making lots of boxes for Christmas to be filled with my homemade candy!

  2. Very cute! There is so much you can do with recycled boxes and scrapbook paper. I even saw a tutorial on converting a cereal box into a gift tote. Now that's thrifty! I am running out of storage space with all the boxes and jars I am saving so I need to start crafting with them. The pumpkin spelt cookies are an organic cookie made in England that I bought at the grocery store. A nice little snack with some green tea. Have a great day! :) Tammy

  4. Cute box Tina! I've been collecting little boxes with the idea that I might wrap them as presents and use them as Christmas decorations around the house. Let's see if I ever get to it!
