Decadence2 Jewelry Box Wrap
I love the way that ribbons and bows look on jewelry boxes but Im rather a fumble fingers when it comes to tying a bow, especially after a sale when Im so excited to see one of my creations go to a new home!
I decided to come up with a way I could wrap a box with a handcrafted (of course!) decoration that would tie in my shop colors and make it easy on me.
While browsing through a local fabric warehouse, I came upon baby blue stretch lace....hmmm.... so pretty and the right color! I decided to get some to experiment with, when I went to check out and found that the lace was only 10 cents a yard...I bought it ALL...
I use the stretch lace in 2 lengths (one for large necklace boxes and bracelet boxes and one for ring and long thin boxes), I staple the ends to a small round piece of cardstock (use a paper punch), cut a strip of crepe paper and form into a medallion shape, glue to the top of the cardstock, a dot of glue in the center and glass glitter in silver finish off the medallion.
I made over 100 of these in an evening sitting in front of the tv, working like and assembly line.
I wrap the jewelry item in tissue, lay it in a box then slip one of these wraps over the box.
I use them both in my brick & mortar shop and when I ship from the sites I sell from online.
Its different and special....I hope you get some inspiration from this to make your own unique box wrap!
