12 Days of Handmade Christmas Gifts - Day 2 ( Tower Chocolate Box )

Are You Ready to Become the Talk of All Your Friends with the Most Unique Set of Gifts They have Ever Seen?

On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true friend gave to me. You can check the 1st Day of Christmas post here. 

A Tower Chocolate Box!

This Tower Gift Box is very versatile. Not only is it a beautiful way to show case your chocolate gifts, it is also a great gift packaging for wine, candles or cosmetics. The possibilities are endless.

In this project, I used an ordinary cardboard/ chipboard and covered it with Christmas Designer Paper. I embellished all panels with some stamps, chipboard and element stickers. 

The topper is a Kanzashi Fabric Flower. I will make the Kanzashi Flower kit available for purchase soon, so stay tuned.

Come back again tomorrow  for more of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Gifts.

Easel Card with Drawer Box

As you know, I love 3D projects.The Easel Card with Drawer Box is one of those box projects that you don't wanna missed. When my MIL asked me to make a card for her friend. I simply thought of making her an Easel card. But when she told me that she will be giving her a bobbin  ( they are an avid Quilter ) I upgraded  my plan and decided to make an Easel Card with Drawer box instead.

There are 4 drawers on this box  and on top of it, I mounted the Easel Card. My MIL friend absolutely loved it! She said it is ridiculously CUTE~! 

Now, stay tuned for the tutorial. There will be more gift boxes to come. So please check back often and thanks a lot for stopping by.

Kanzashi Flower Gift Box Topper

Here are some projects where I used the Kanzashi Flower Bloom. It is my first time to make fabric jewelry. I know I can do better but I want to show that I am not perfect. But, I am willing to learn and continue to grow so I am hoping that next time I do this project, it will be BETTER. I also made a  Kanzashi Flower Barrette, which you can also use as Gift Box Topper or Favor Box embellishment.
