Year of Date Nights: December

Celebrations, Christmas, Crafts & DIY

Year of Date Nights Gift = 12 gifts opened all year round! Great alternative for Bridesmaid gift to Bride #wedding | spotofteadesigns.com

In April, 7 bridesmaids and I helped to host a bridal shower in which we gave the bride-to-be a gift to last the whole year. Read the opening explanation about “A Year of Date Nights” here.

This gift took a little more crafting time.

I had gotten this holiday box the previous Christmas. It was cute but not necessarily the style I wanted to give.

I started by painting the edges in a brown acrylic paint.

I cut patterned paper to fit each side of the box, which I added between layers of decoupage glue. Tip: Place the box and lid over a vase or jar so it doesn’t touch any surfaces and get ruined.

Inside, they found a mall directory, a playful scavenger hunt and a gift card to Seasons 52, a nice restaurant in the mall.

(supplies: patterned paper: K&Company, decoupage glue: Martha Stewart Crafts, stickers: Jolee’s)
