I started these boxes by spray painting them a creamy ivory color. Then I covered them in a new favorite paper that looks like a sweet vintage wallpaper. I adhered a doily to the top of each, then attached velvet strawberries and velvet leaves. I added lace on the edges of box and tied a bow on the bouquet of strawberries. The final touch was a small blue brad on the end of the box.
Then I filled up the box with flowers, leaves, glittered clothespins, a bag of vintage lace, a tag of pink and blue trims, a Victorian calling card, and a piece of special organza trim.
I hope that my swap partners love their boxes!
