Project Instructions:

1. Using the muslin bags in the shop spray with some silver color wash. 

2. Layer a doily, some wax paper garland, a fancy silver ribbon, a blue circle and top it all off with a snowflake rosette.  

3. Cut a v into a embossed coin envelope and attach that to the underside of the doily, making it look like a nice pretty ribbon.

4. To make the wax paper garland fold several layers of  wax paper about 2” wide and cut multiple cuts about ¼” apart and using a jumbo zot adhere it in a circle giving your snowflake medallion some dimension.

Gold Spray Painted Christmas Gift Boxes

Curtsey Boutique Designer

Kim Stewart

Kim used our 2x2x2, 4x4x4 krafts boxes and kraft tape to decorate these pretty gifts.

She spray painted the boxes a beautiful shade of gold and loved how they came out. Kim used the star burst labels as masks on the boxes. She adhered them and than spray painted over them. The kraft boxes have a bit of a finish to them so removing the labels was mess free. Once the stickers were removed they left the star burst shape in the kraft color, contrasting nicely with the gold spray paint.

The bow was made using our kraft tape. Kim folded sections of tape into loops and than layered each loop one on top of another until she liked the way it looked.  The bow was also spray painted.

The final touch on the smaller box was one of our snowflake rosettes that was also hit with a bit of gold spray paint.

Wood Berry Basket Smore Kit By Jess Mutty

I know the blog has been quiet for a bit and the shop was on vacation, but our doors are once more open and the blog up and going.

What better way to celebrate the dog days of summer than with Jess' sweet embellished berry basket?

****************************

I go to a lot of BBQs in the summer and sometimes I get tired of the same old hostess gifts.  Sure, we all love a bottle of wine but why not stand out with something a little more unique?

My S'mores Kit is adorable, inexpensive, and quick to assemble. And I bet the recipient will squeal with delight when she sees it!  All you need are some Curtsey Boutique supplies and your s'mores ingredients, of course.

The grahams are in a flat glassine envelope and tied with twine and a chalkboard label tag.  Then a classic Hershey's chocolate bar. The marshmallows go in the front, in a gusseted glassine bag, folded over and stapled, and topped with a glitter star, accordion circle, and a wood button.  Everything nestles nicely into a sweet wood berry basket with a seam binding bow.
