Designer’s tip: I like to cover the box sides while the box is still flat. I place glue stick on 2 sides and them wrap a strip of paper around the sides and trim the paper even with the box sides. Repeat for the remaining 2 sides, overlapping paper slightly

Supplies:

• Sara's Surfaces Take Out Boxes
• Sew Cute Paper Pack
• Easter Dazzles™ Gold
• Easter Egg Brads
• Boutique Ribbon Set
• Excel Hobby Blades Retractable Knife
• 3-D Foam Squares Variety Pack
• Medium Zots™

Instructions:

1. Cover the box sides with pink floral paper. Cover the left flap only with yellow doily paper and use the pen knife to cut a slit in the paper for the handles.
2. Place “Happy Easter” Dazzles greeting on the box front. Place a large Dazzles egg on blue gingham paper and cut out. Place smaller eggs on colorful areas of the quilt paper and cut out. Glue the large egg to the left side of the box front with a medium egg to the right. Glue small Dazzles eggs around the box sides. Back the tulip heads on yellow doily paper and glue next to the small eggs.
3. Use the pen knife to make small slits at the bottom edge of the box sides and secure egg brads.
4. Back a butterfly Dazzles with yellow paper and foam tape to the front. Place goodies inside the box. Close the flaps. Back another with blue gingham and glue to the handle. Glue a green gingham bow to the left side of the handle.
