Halloween Gift Boxes!

By
If you have the day off from work due to Labor Day, I hope you enjoy it.  We have the Labor movement that began over 100 years ago to be thankful for the holiday, our 8 hour work days and 5 day work weeks, safer work conditions, child labor laws and much more.  Today we think of the holiday as a time to picnic, the end of summer and the beginning of school.  There is so much more behind the holiday. Thanks to those individuals so many years ago we have the life we live today.  I don't know if I could work six days a week without any vacations?

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!

Now to share my Halloween gift boxes with you.  Need a cute gift box for that little something... here are a couple of ideas for small Halloween Gifts!




LITTLE CANDY BOX

 
Small jewelry boxes work perfect for this project!
 
 
 Cover the lid of the box with paper from
Glitz Pack 8x8 Lacy Grace using Glue Stick.
 
 
Add washi tape to the sides of the box.
 
 
Find out what candy your recipient likes...
wrap candy with black cardstock.
 


 
Adhere images from collage sheet Vintage Halloween to black cardstock  with Glue Stick!
 
 
 Finish the box with Skull Ribbon.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
A LITTLE SPOOKY GIFT
 
 
Paint paper mache coffin with black paint, set aside to dry.


 Add Washi tape to the cover of the coffin and
Glitz Giant EYE Rhinestone!
 




Wrap candy with black cardstock, add skeleton from Altered Pages collage sheets Creepy Anatomy. 
 
 
These make great party favors or gifts for co-workers!
 
 


Supplies:
Altered Pages collage sheets: Vintage Halloween, Creepy Anatomy
Small jewelry box
Glitz Pack 8x8 Lacy Grace
Glue Stick
Washi tape
Paper mache coffin
Giant Glitz Rhinestones
Skull Ribbon
Black Paint

AND THAT's A WRAP!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
