{Girly} Gift Ideas

Thinking outside the {shirt} box here. This is a simple way to make a birthday girl feel special by presenting her gift in an unique way.  My little sister’s bday was over the weekend and we had some cute PJ’s to give her.  I loved the fun colors (which are her faves) so I let them be my inspiration.

I had this cute round paper mache box with a lid.  You can find these for not too much $ at craft stores.  I just added a strip of cute scrapbook paper  on the front with Mod Podge. It says, ‘happiness is made to be shared’.

***You could use an oatmeal container or something like that and just cut it down and cover the whole thing in paper. ***

I tied some ribbon around it and attached a little hang tag (which I put some more scrapbook paper on).  I put the lid on the bottom so she would have it just in case she wanted to use the box  later for decor or storage.

Then, I simply rolled up the clothes and stuck them in the box.

 

Next I made a topper using a variation of Martha’s pom pom balls.  I attached it to a wire stem and stuck it down in the center of the rolled clothes.

 

And, there you have it!

Here is another idea using the pom pom balls as money flowers.

I made the smaller version of the pom poms and attached them to a wire stem using florist tape.  Next, I tied money to the stems like ‘leaves’ with tulle.  I stuck them into florist foam and put it in this cute basket.  I covered the foam with a little bandana and added in tissue, candy and a few small gifts.  You could add whatever you wanted in the basket.  I then embellished it with more tulle and stickers. I made with one for my niece and she was quite pleased. ;)
