This box is very simple and easy to make starting with a plain paper box from Walmart for jut $2. I covered the box with scraps of Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas (I made and album from this paper last year).
A note about adding ribbon to the lid. You want to place it deep inside the lid so that the extra adhesive (I used Tombow Fastner Tabs) doesn't get in the way of closing the lid.
I also created one of my special flowers (tutorial here) made from the Flowers pieces of the G45 12 Days of Christmas set. I layered up the pieces and secured them with a brad.
Then I wet the layers thoroughly and scrunched up all the layers making them very wrinkly.
The last step is to gently peal back the layers into the shape you desire and let it dry completely (over night if possible). The finished flower is beautifully sculpted and retains it's shape.
The finished box from several sides........

- Paper box from Walmart
