Simply Sweet by Sharon

Welcome to the It's a Wrap Birthday Blog Hop

featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team.

Hopefully you just came from the talented Kim.

If not please head on over to see our hop hostess

Jenny so you can start from the beginning. I wouldn't

want you to miss out on the fantastic project for today.

In my family we don't have any birthdays until August

but, we do have an 8th grade graduation in 2 weeks.

My daughter Michaela will be off to High School next

year and I decided to make a special box for her gift.

I can't say what she will be getting because she reads

my blog but, trust me she is going to love it. 

To make this box I cut out 2 circles at 3 inches and 

2 circles out at 3 1/4 inches. The sides are 2 strips of

3 x 12 inch paper that I scored at 1 inch. After you 

fold the scored side up cut slits about 1/4 inch wide 

in the 1 inch section. Then take one of the circle and

add your favorite adhesive to the out side of the circle.

Roll up the strips to make them more flexible. The 

strips are then added to the outside of the circle until 

it meets the other end. Glue the other circle inside the

to hide the slits.  Now repeat for the other sided of the

box. For the top I cut a 5 inch square and glued it to

the 3 1/4 inch circle.  The numbers are cut at 1 1/2 

inches. I decided that they were to simple so, I decided

to add some super fine glitter.  Now I know why I never

use glitter.  It is EVERY WHERE. But, I do have to 

say it does look pretty. I then pop dotted the numbers 

for lift. I made a simple tassel with embody floss. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Graduation box for 

todays hop. Now please head on over to our Guest

Designer Candace to see the wonderful project 

she has made for todays hop.
