Gifting

Lip Balm Gifts

It has been a busy week this week, and I wish I could say that it involved more time in the Song Sparrow Papercrafts studio. But alas, the call of work and homelife have prevailed. We’ve all had our share of homework to do. And I don’t know about you, but we’ve been watching the trek of Hurricane Milton with bated breath.

As I’m preparing for an upcoming craft show, we’re taking a look at some of the fun gifties that I’ll have in my booth. Aside from having the fun edible treats, I love to create little gift items that contain something useful. And who doesn’t love a good tube of lip balm? I have some in just about every room of the house, plus my car and my purse and at my office.

I found a super cute gift box tutorial over at The Paper Pixie that I have adapted/simplified a bit. Are these not the cutest little boxes? You can use solid or patterned cardstock for the box itself. I had some thicker patterned cardstock, and it worked super well. But as you can see, a plain box doesn’t have to look plain once you’re done dressing it up!

If you’re interested in a PDF tutorial for these cute boxes that includes my little shortcuts, simply drop me a comment with a link to your socials (or other means of sending it to you). I’ll be sending out all of the requested tutorials from this week’s projects over the weekend.

I’ll be popping in with a few more craft show goodies over the next few days. So I hope you’ll pop in and check out more cute gifties.
