Do It Over Designers

I am joining Ann, from Apple Street Cottage, and the Do It Over Designers, where we transform something that needs a makeover!


First and foremost, these were delish!  A refreshing afternoon cocktail with a few bites of cheese and crackers!

Secondly, the cardboard holder was something I could easily imagine using as a gift container.  I had a friend's birthday approaching and had an IDEA!




I purchased a felt sheet for $.20 at Hobby Lobby and covered the box, using a glue gun:


I purchased 4 Bath and Body products in the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent:


I added some black tissue paper to each compartment and filled each with one of the products:


A polka dotted bow was added to the side and the gift was ready to be delivered!




Hop around to see what my clever blogging friends created:

  1. Well, that is the sweetest gift box I've ever seen. What a genius idea! I have to remember this one around the holidays, I always have little items for my girls that would fit perfectly inside a beverage box. Thanks!

  6. This is the perfect idea for gift giving Patti! I love being able to use items I already have on hand and preventing them from accumulating in a landfill somewhere. I cannot wait to try something like this! I am sure your friend was over the moon!
