Save your packaging!

Scrapbook embellishes seem to come in packaging that almost rival the goodies themselves! Be sure to save your packaging because there are many creative things you can do with them...




Like this flower container from Prima. The container in it's plain form is great, but adding some flowers, ribbon and patterned paper makes it absolutely fabulous!!



I used more Fancy Pants paper in this project (love this line, can't you tell?) Isn't it amazing what you can do with an empty scrapbook container? You could fill this with candies, or jewelry...the possibilities are endless!

(Sorry I don't have a step by step tutorial for this one...I was doing this as a last minute project and didn't even think to take pictures of the process until it was too late.)
