Weddings - Think Spring

As everyone is gearing up for Christmas, I'm thinking Spring. Yes, Spring. The brides are thinking Spring so I'm right there with them. I enjoy being a part of the wedding reception. And the brides think so, too! Some of the favors I offer are

Petal Boxes:

Matchboxes
Open top boxes.

Of course, these boxes aren't limited to weddings. I've made some for anniversaries, dinner parties, birthday parties and more! Check out PipingHotPapers for more party ideas!

How to Fold a Petal Box

Folding a petal box is quite simple once you get the hang of it. First, fill your box with the treat of your choice (e.g., M&M's, Peppermint Patty, nuts or other small treats). I haven't put anything in these boxes since they are in my shop and I didn't want to get them dirty.

Start with any side and begin by folding the point toward the middle.










Continue tucking in the points of each petal until you reach the last side. You might need to bend the paper slightly, but it shouldn't crease.










At the base of the box, you may need to push the corners together so the top closes completely.

If you have any questions, please contact me at PipingHotPapers@gmail.com or directly through my shop (PipingHotPapers).

I'm stuck at the stable

The boys and I are doing school at the stable today. Their sister is having her riding lesson and since the weather is not nice (i.e., snow falling, roads slushy), I decided to hang out at the stable and go through school with them.

They helped the office administrator fill the vending machine and as a result got a treat of their choice from the machine. Such little things make them happy! Which makes me happy! Yay!

I don't mind the stable too much since they have wireless internet connection. I can watch my daughter ride and the boys can eat their treat.

Well, I don't have anything horsey in my shop, but I do have wedding favors, affordable wedding favors, inexpensive wedding favors...very popular this time of year!
