Will You Be My Flower Girl?

Omg, I had way too much fun making this craft!  We wanted our friends baby girl to be our flower girl.  She'll be a whopping "1" next month, so she's pretty young, but she's such a pretty girl, with gorgeous eyelashes...And she'll be 1.5 by the time we get married, so it should all work out.  I started with a boring old dollar store unfinished box, then I turned it in  to something beautiful that will hopefully be a keepsake.


I really need to start stocking up on these beauties.  I love that it has a little magnet clasp.  I painted the entire thing pink, then created a picture on my computer, printed it out and Mod Podged it to the top.



I also bedazzled the crap out of it!  Aleene's Jewel-It glue is amazing stuff!!!

I then created the inside poem'y thing that I Mod Podged inside.  Not quite so many jewels, but it gets the point across.  ;)

I then made the foam base and covered it with a black felt.  The bracelet took a quarter of the time the box took, but it's still pretty!
It looks so pretty with a Lei as a cushion!

Did I mention that I made a pinwheel too?  I <3 <3 <3 pinwheels!!!


Needless to say, she was about as happy as a one year old girl can be.  Mum seemed a little more thrilled, and that was pretty much the point!  :D

I simply can't wait to get married!!!!!
