Baby Gift Box Decoration
Early in the evening tonight my DIL announced she would be stopping by a baby shower for a friend (a different one) tomorrow. She had bought a gift already, and I asked if I could make a personalized gift box decoration like the one I am already making, but about 1/4th size of the original. She said yes, so I spent a couple of hours and here is our finished product! The individual letters are strung on a lime green rope from a gift bag handle (one of my favorite crafting items)...and I had wanted to sort of drape the thing like a banner, but we had a few obstacles. One was that the box was just a tad too small, and the other was that it had a ribbon and sticker dead center from the store it had been bought from, which would have shown if it had been hung in a draped fashion. Finally we opted for straight across on a diagonal. It is cute, I must say...and covers that sticker in the middle. How do you like this cute baby name...Coral??? Isn't that sweet? I heard that she has an older sister with a "C" name also. Very cool.
Both clever and adorable and can be used later in the childs room as a display/a banner perhaps there! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLove the decoration...the pink n blue shades look elegant...and wow how u've worked on the edges...love it! Is that Crochet, Julie? I am not very good at identifying it. The name is also real cute...
ReplyDeleteThe gift box is lovely Julie, I always get a lot of satisfaction out making things for babies.
ReplyDeleteDeepa- Yes, crochet!

ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Such a sweet touch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a completely adorable idea!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! That is a sweet name.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous, Julie! What a lovely job you did and the bonus is that it can be kept for display in baby's room.
ReplyDeleteI have only ever known one 'Coral' in my life and that was way back when I was a child.
So cute! If I ever have grandchildren I'll know just who to look to for inspiration.
