DIY HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN A BOX!

Materials

White box - We purchased ours from Michael's.

Confetti

Washi Tape

Paper Straws

Confetti Balloon

Happy Birthday Garland

Goodie Bags

Slider Box Candles

Glue Stick

Ribbon

Directions
Using washi tape, add vertical stripes to the box.  We love washi tape because you can remove it, so if your lines are not straight on the first try you can fix it. Glue the confetti to the lid of the box in a random pattern.  Fill your box with special goodies for your special someone.  Once filled with goodies, tie it up with ribbon, and add some fun tissue balls.  

How to make the Straws and Cupcake Topper.  We used washi tape for the fun little flags on our straws and cupcake toppers.  We choose our "HELLO" washi tape and our pretty green washi tape.   Cut a 3” piece of washi tape, lay it on a flat surface and place the straw down on it. Fold over the tape, lining up the two sides before pressing down. Cut about half an inch down the middle and then cut diagonally from each corner to the end of your middle cut.  For the cupcake toppers, we used the same method using wooden skewers, then dipped the ends in glitter and gave them a coat of Modge Podge to keep the glitter from getting on your food.  We tied the straws and cupcake topper with pretty twine.

We used our Happy Birthday Garland on the inside of the box.  When your special someone opens the box, the Happy Birthday Garland will look like a pop up card! When you close the lid of the box, make sure that the banner falls into the box, and isn't stuck in the edges.  Just tape the ends of the garland to the corner of the lid.

Put all your fun goodies in the box.  We put a special present in the Goodie Bag along with the candles, blower, cupcake toppers, straws, confetti balloon and confetti.
