I love going to Hobby Lobby and spending an hour or more just wandering the
aisles, checking out all the beautiful items. This is when I get some of my best
decorating ideas. Lately, the Christmas ornaments are like a feast for my
creative juices. It is such fun picking out ornaments that will be perfect
decorations for my boxes. Today I bought two shoes to use as box toppers. I have
also used beautiful butterfly ornaments for box toppers. Here are some examples
of my boxes decorated with ornaments.
Now...just how
are adorable are those boxes? The pink box is being used to hold bath powder
while adding decoration to the master bath. The turquoise box with the shoe
topper was used by a friend to hold her daughter's birthday present. The
butterfly box will be shipped first of the week to a friend that lives in
Minnesota. She ordered it to use for her bath powder. The boxes are embellished
with a combination of acrylic paints, decoupaged paper napkins and wrapping
paper, jewel accents, and then finished with acrylic sealer to preserve box
condition.
The next box
shows an ornament that has been taken apart and used to enhance the center of
the beautiful lace trim.
These are just
a few examples of using your imagination. For me it has become a fun game
looking for new and unusual items for trims.
At Hobby Lobby
the ornaments are all selling for 40% off. Time to grab your coat, wear a hat if
having bad hair day, and shop, shop, shop.
The weekend is
upon us so go do something that just makes you feel good.
