The sweet little Garden Boxes are a pleasure to create and would make a wonderful keepsake to give. Coordinate the colors for your Garden party, tea party or afternoon luncheon and fill with sweet tags using various images from the shoppe.
To create simple cover a box using pattern papers and tacky glue or double-sided tape. I added paper doilies to the tops of the boxes and ribbon. Crepe paper rosettes were created by folding the crepe paper and gluing to the size you wish to use. Allow time to dry, and embellish the crepe paper using pretty petals, leaves, and rhinestone picks.
You may also decorate the interior of the box using pattern papers, folded crepe paper and a bit of tulle.
Tags were made using pattern papers, doilies, and beautiful faces (Genteel Lady 22 PNG). Add ribbon as a bottom border and embellish with pretty petals. Tie a ribbon through the tag hole.

These boxes are sooo sweet! Now I want to have a garden tea party, just to make these!
Yummy colors!! There’s no end to your beautiful ideas!
As always, supreme creativity. Wouldn’t the tags, boxes, cones be awesome for a wedding shower or even a baby shower? Wow can hardly wait to make some. I have a great pattern for a party hat to make the cones. Thanks as ever for great inspiration. I live out a ways so running to town to get party hats isn’t that quick for me.
