Upcycled Gift Box DIY

Supplies (similar or same are linked):

Empty Laughing Cow Container
Circle Cutter OR compass, scissors, pencil, and ruler
Pretty Tape
Glue Stick
Ink — I used Royal Blue
Stamp

Step 1:

Make a circle big enough to cover the label, or where the label was. You can do this two ways.

Option 1: Measure the diameter, then divide that by two to find the radius. Your compass should be set to that radius. Use your compass to make a circle on the paper, then cut it out. Repeat.

Option 2: Find the right size and cut your circle with a circle cutter.

Either option might take a few tries.

Step 2:

Stamp all over you pieces of paper. The pattern is up to you. Mine is kind of messy with several generations of stamping.

Step 3:

Glue the papers to the container.

Step 4:

Add your pretty tape to the edges. I think I ended up trimming the tape on the lid and leaving the bottom wide (there’s a gap once you’ve opened the cheese package).

Step 5:

Add this tag (optional), fill with a gift, and give!
