Have you ever had Laughing Cow Cheese?
The cheese wedges come in a round cardboard container.
With a little embellishment, the container makes a perfect gift box.
To cover this box, I gently removed the labels from the top and sides of the box. I covered the top and sides of the container in a lightweight cardstock. I used a little ric rac to hide the seam along the top edge.
You can leave the box plain or add more embellishments on the top.
A silk flower.
Easter eggs.
An Easter Bunny.
Or, a little bouquet of twigs and flowers.
Fill the box with candy for Easter, use it as a gift card holder or keep it for yourself.
