A GIFT BOX

Good Evening & a happy weekend to you all! 
Very pleased to share a upcycled project today, made keeping in mind a few challenges. Take a look at this gorgeous gift box...........


I find myself creating only in monochromes these days (hope I get over it soon!). Any guesses what is recycled here? Well I leave you with the snapshots first & will reveal it only later, am sure you can guess by then. I love stick pins & in this one I have a cute birdie perched atop the pin.


The crochet flower is handmade by my mom, she made many while she was here. 


The sides are chipboard pieces distressed with stormy sky ink & layered with die cuts. Glued  embellished wooden clothes pins on both the sides. This one holds a mini Bo Bunny envelope from the Noteworthy collection. Isn't it perfect to hold a cute little message for the recipient?




Making the closure for this was the toughest part! I think now that it is open you all know what this is!



Yes it was a pringles can, inspired by a pin on pinterest. This is how I went about with the upcycling

  11. Oh my. What a delightful project Tanvi. I love how pretty this turned out...and you've certainly "upcycled" the Pringles can to perfection! Monochromatic schemes are the hardest to do and you have been doing a mighty fine job my friend. [I always try to sneak in some colours..lol].

  14. Tanvi, this is fantastic. Love to upcycle and never thought to do this. I usually use diet tea containers but they are all plastic and not easy to cut. I normally use them for cookies for my grand kids they think it is fun. Thanks for the idea however must try this one.

  15. What an amazing transformation, Tanvi. You have completely changed the look of that pringle box into a gorgeous gifting item which anyone would be proud to receive. I really love the fact that you kept this in the monochrome and the small details like that crotchet flower, lace and the mini envelope look fabulous!
