I am here with an upcycled gift box that I made for Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge. I used only the butterfly + W is for Wheat (color) in this project.
My project started out as an interesting hexagon-shaped Turkish Delight box.......
....and ended up as a pretty gift box:
Someone needs to make a crafting cartoon similar to the X-Box one above that says.......Son: Oh, yay!!....Turkish Delight!!
Janis: Oh, yay!!!....Turkish Delight BOX!!Now do you see why I chose that cartoon for this post?!! :D
This box was easy to cover because it has a separate top and bottom...and also because the "flaps" unfold easily from the interior. Here's the lid all unfolded:
I chose some coordinating K&Co. butterfly prints and glued them onto the unfolded top and base. I trimmed with a craft knife, scored the folds for a crisp look, and then reconstructed the box. It was quite easy!

Here's a zoomed in shot of the tag I made for the box. The tag base is made of cork and the bow is twine. I like the organic texture of this combination with the nature motifs I used. The Versafine ink stamped on the cork perfectly.

Ooooh...this is so creative and beautiful. I love how you upcycled this box and I agree that it was too unique to just toss. I have a whole bankers filing box filled with "interesting" packaging that I planned to upcycle and now maybe I'll actually do it after seeing your success. That cork tag is such a great addition of texture!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out fabulous!! I have a box full of those kind of boxes waiting on me to get around to re-covering them. Hope they turn out as nice as this when I finally get around to them!! Hugs!
