Repurposed Container

Having some fun turning a sour cream container into a pretty little box.

For the flower centers, I gathered some ribbon and netting and then added some pearls.  The box was covered with scraps of paper and then I made a base and added a crepe paper and ribbon ruffle.  There's some lace around the top of the box and also some ribbon trim.


I used a soda bottle cap and some shredded vintage sheet music paper to make the nest. 


And then I needed something to put in the box, so I made a little 3" round mini with some vintage Easter images and added some scripture verses.

 I used 5 pages; I'll just show a few.  There's lots of lace, pearls, bling, stickles and butterflies.



The sweet little rolled ribbon flower was part of gift from my DIL.  She does such beautiful work!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!
