People regift all the time. Sometimes we see regifting as lazy or strange... just trying to get rid of a gift you didn't really like? ran out of time? what's your excuse? I know I've done it once or twice.
Well, this regift is the exception to the rule! HOw cute is this box?! It's an empty paper pumpkin box! I always keep my boxes after making my paper pumpkins. I just feel like it's such a cute box and it hasn't quite fulfilled it's potential. As I sat looking at my stack, I decided it was time to try and use them up. I have a craft show coming up and holiday things at school, so I will be needing gifts and wrappings and such. I remembered using this box to create a spring themed gift for my office secretaries for secretary's day a few years ago. They were headed to the spa on their special day so I loaded them up for their trip over with a few treats in one of these boxes all decorated up. They loved it! So here it is.
Now if you are a crafter with lots of supplies, you know that you have old papers to use up. That is exactly what this project is designer for.
The top and bottom are 9 1/4 X 6 1/4
The sides are 6 1/4 X 1 1/2 and 9 1/4 x 1 1/2
I simply put "gobs" of adhesive on and stuck them on. Then decorated it with some ribbon and a tag using a current stamp set and Voila! Instant gift
Here's a side view so you can get the full effect. Much fun! Use up those jold papers and paper pumpkin boxes! If you're not yet a paper pumpkin member check it out here...
