Create a Gift Box
Materials-
Shoe Box (if you've recently bought a pair of boots, this is a great size!)
White Spray Paint
Sponge
Second color paint (I'm an ADPi, so I chose azure blue!)
Wooden hearts (purchase cheaply at any craft store)
glitter
Glue Gun
newspapers
Go OUTSIDE. Spread your newspapers and spray paint the outside of the shoe box, it's lid and the hearts white. Let it dry.
Next, take your second color paint and squirt it onto some clean newspaper. Take your sponge and soak up some of the paint. Blot it a couple of times on another clean area of newspaper.
Now, take your sponge and blot against the box and lid. Gently dust with glitter. Let it dry.
Hot glue your wooden hearts to the four corners of the box. Little clusters of different sized hearts looks very cute. (You might want to put a small layer of elmers glue on them and lightly dust with glitter too).
When everything dries, if you are feeling adverturour, take a black sharpie, or a colored paint pen and write your sister's name on the lid in bubble letters. You might also write "XYZ" "Heart" "NAME"
Fill the box with raffia, candies, and place your sister's gifts inside.
Aside from the lavaliers and letter shirts, I made all my diamond sister's gifts by hand! I also found that writing an "I am thinking of you note" or sticking a poster on her door that "XYZ Loves NAME... and so do I!" was always greatly appreciated!
