I always seem to have little gifts that need wrapping. Most times my wrapping is a rush job just before the event, so I thought I'd put some effort into 4 handmade necklace gifts I am giving friends & my SIL this month.
When deciding on which products to use, I remembered I had some of the cute Cakewalk papers from my visit winter CHA in LA & a bag of Farmhouse Flower sacks.
Perfect to create some pretty decorations for my little gift boxes.
I started with four 2.5 inch gift boxes which I wrapped in craft paper for uniformity.
The neutral bases make a great canvas for decorating too.
The little flower box was simple to make.
- cut x21 1 inch circles each with a little slit for folding.
- using Tombow liquid glue created little cone shapes for layering.
- with the tightest ones in the middle, I hot glued them into a layered flower shape.
- a button in the center & some leaves finished my paper bloom off nicely.
I have a *BONUS download* for you. Punching or cutting 21 circles can be a daunting feat, so I created a cutting file for you.
Using a die cutting machine is definitely the way to go when making one of these babies :)

Next we have the Tag box.
- cut a tag shape from the Guest List patterned paper from Cakewalk Collection
- round corners.
- using some of the Farmhouse flower sack elements, layer a 21st sentiment for your tag.
- a tiny peg adds extra dimension.
The bow box is my favorite!
I saw these paper bows on Pinterest & LOVED them.
Not wanting to create a cutting file of my own, I did a quick search and was fortunate enough to find a free cutting file for a similar bow shape on the internet.
See :HERE: for the download. Thanks so much SVGcuts!
- cut bow shape.
- fold bow shape & held in place with a sewn button.
The last box is so much fun with the cute pinwheel.
- cut out your pinwheel.
- fold corners to middle of shape.
- secure with diecut shape from Farmhouse flower sack & a button.
I have another *BONUS download* for you.
Using a die cutting machine you can cut as many pinwheels as you need from the cutting file I created for you.

All done...x4 pretty little boxes all in a row.
Feel free to use the downloads for your own personal use.
