Thanks for sharing this beautiful project with us, Jenifer!

Wedding Gift Box with Jenifer Cowles

I needed a quick box for a wedding I was attending recently and this turned out just perfect.  Using 8 doilies I accordion folded them into quarters and hot glued them onto a circle to make a fun layered doily flower.  I stacked a flower on a button for a center.  A sprig of stamens and some wire string and I was ready to go with a fun custom box in just the colors I needed.

Altered "Love" Embroidery Hoop by Jenifer Cowles

Altered Love Embroidery Hoop
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Jenifer Cowles

A quick walk through my local department stores this week revealed that everyone is getting ready for Valentine's Day. It seems scarcely possible with the ground still littered with fire work remnants, but there it is - red, pink and white hearts everywhere.

I thought we'd hop on the band wagon instead of fighting the love avalanche. Jenifer's altered embroidery hoop is a charming decoration to hang at home or give to a friend.

DIY Baby Shower Gift Boxes Tutorial with Jenifer Cowles

Instructions for the Doily Flower topper:

1.  You will need 5 doilies total. 

2.  Fold 4 doilies in half and then in half again.  

3. Layer them on the 5th doily adhering them on with a jumbo zot, fluff.  

4. You can add another flower on the top or even a cute button. 

5.  By changing the fabric ribbon and the center flowers you could easily change these gift boxes to match any occasion, I will be using these for baby shower gifts.
