Bridesmaid Boxes

So I found this next idea initially on Pinterest. I twisted it to match my wedding theme and colors. Everything I used was just little bits and pieces of wedding decorations I already had!

I wanted the maids to have a sense of the wedding and the colors they can look forward to seeing for the next six months so I made little memento boxes to ask them to by my maids!

The boxes are from Michael's and with the online coupon I bought all five for less than $4 each! 

For the outside I used -
1. Stickers for their initial - I put on initially and then went back with paint.
2. A chevron stencil - I used acrylic paint and a dry brush 

The sticker left me an outline that I was able to fill in with a solid letter. As for the inside...
I also made sure to include -
1. The wedding info (when/where)
2. What their dress was going to look like
3. A meet and greet of each bridesmaid and how we met.

These turned out great and the girls LOVED them... So +1 for Pinterest! They took about 15 minutes a piece, so a great gift no matter how much time you have for crafting!
