1. Spray paint the boxes. Let dry.

   Safety Tip: Spray the boxes outside in a well-ventilated area.

2. Write messages on the box lids and draw scallops at the bottom of the boxes (figure A) with the permanent marker.

3. Measure pom-pom trim around each box lid and cut to size. Glue pom-pom trim around box lids with hot glue gun, gluing in sections (figure B).

4. Measure tulle around each box bottom plus enough to tie a knot and cut. Tie in place. Fluff the ends of the tulle coming out of the knot. This will be your bow. Cut the excess.

5. Attach rose buds to the center of the tulle bow (figure C) with a hot glue gun.

6. Assemble flower piece and hot glue on top of a small box for a nice finished look.

7. Line each box with tissue paper and fill each box with a special treat -- i.e. candies, cookies, jewelry, etc. (figure D) that your recipient will love.
