Trinket Boxes

Do you order Stampin' UP embellishments?  Like brads, buttons, or clips?  The ones that come in those nice little round plastic boxes?  So Stampers, how many of these do you have lying around the house? 

If you're like me, you'll answer "dozens!" So in typical crafter's fashion, re-purpose them:

When I went to Convention this year, I was "gifted" one of these little boxes.  What a charming idea!  So I've taken all my embellishment empties and am turning them into little works of art.

Clean off any paper labels.  Using the 2-1/2" circle punch, punch out a piece of Designer Series Paper (I used Season of Style).  Adhere this to the top of the container.

Add some Sticky Strip to the side edge, and adhere a length of ribbon, leaving it long enough to tie a small bow or knot in the front.

Make a paper rosette (score a 1" x 12" strip of paper every 1/4", and fold in mountain/valley folds--adhere the ends and using hot glue, squish it flat, adhering it into a rosette) and add with hot glue to the top of your container.

Decorate with a scallop punch of Champagne Glimmer Paper and add a button with some Linen Thread.  Stamp and cut a banner, and you're done!  An adorable box of candies or use as a gift box for a pair of earrings, a necklace or other small trinket.

Let's get creating!
