I created my bow using the envelope punch board and my pretty heat embossed vellum butterflies come from the painted glass Stamp set. My tiny thank you is taken from beauty abounds Stamp set. Combined we have a pretty, easy to create and budget friendly treat.

Shabby chic hat box.

I am just in love with this pretty hat box it does open so you can add a gift inside. I was inspired by a photo I saw on pinterest the link is HERE and this is the lady blog homepage HERE . I couldn't follow the instructions as the post is in French but I had to give it a try and figured a way to do it from just looking at the photo. Its easy really with the help of the Window box thinlits and a good old compass I soon created the hat shape. The rest is down to decoration.

I did decorate mine similar to the original using the Daisy delight stamp and punch to create two full dimensional flowers which I added to the side. The butterfly comes from the Painted glass set which I stamped and fussy cut. The only measuring I did was for the base. For this I took a compass and had it set at around 2 1/4" so my base ended up around 5 1/2" in diameter.

I do have a Youtube tutorial for this project. I had to speed it up somewhat as I created this on a lazy Sunday and simply switched the camera on and crafted. I do love how it turned out and do hope you will give it a try. All the products used are listed below for you to click and browse.

So why not grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy the video.
