DIY Mini Stationary Box--4 Bar Size--Video and Printable Instructions

Hi everyone! Today I'm super excited to be sharing a new stationary box DIY. This time around it's a smaller size--4 Bar size to be exact. So that means the awesome Lawn fawndamentals note cards will fit perfectly inside, and the envelopes too. However, not only will this box hold stationary, it can also be used for carrying a gift card or a sweet treat, too! 
I'm also offering a free printable with written instructions on how to create these mini boxes. Click here for that free printable! This will make creating tons of these so much easier. You can view the video to watch how I assembled it but the written instructions will help you so that you can don't have to keep pressing stop or rewind of the video, hehe. 
I was so excited to create these boxes with the paper, Snow Boots, from the new, Snow Day, collection. This pattern paper is too perfect! If you do create some of your own I'd love to see them--I've had several of you send me IG messages with pictures of the A2 size card boxes and I'd love it if you shared your pictures of these, too. You can find my on IG @unifyhandmade 
I really hope you enjoy this! 

Centerpiece Decor Idea

While I was creating a scene for a photo-shoot showcasing my new wedding table numbers, I stumbled across a really cute way to decorate centerpieces using 12 x 12 pattern paper. I've mentioned in the past that I’m not so great at flower arranging, and I really don’t like using clear vases because you can tell I’m a novice at it, with all the stems and leaves going in every which way—so this time around I thought I’d simply cover them up with extra pattern paper I had laying around; and, it looks SO CUTE! So, I thought I’d share this little decorating tip and show how I did it, and how you can use any kind of paper to do it.

All you’ll need, to cover a clear vase is, 12 x 12 sheets of pattern paper; and, you can find this type of paper at your local Michaels or Joanns. They both have a great selection of pattern paper, and they usually have them on sale for about 5 sheets for $1.00. Next you’ll need either a papertrimmer or a ruler and scissors, and clear tape. Instructions: All I did was cut a 4” strip of the pattern paper, wrap it around the vase, and adhere it with some clear tape—and that’s it! You can even get creative with this and apply some adhesive pearls, gems, or even ribbon around to have it match your party decor  This idea will work perfectly with: weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, and so much more! 

I think the brown pattern paper is my favorite. It looks so elegant! I can’t wait to have a party so I can get creative with this. Thanks for stoppin’ by and happy Monday!
