You might remember this from last year if you are a follower of my blog. I have a hard time throwing away packaging, and my iPhone box was no different. I knew I could make a pretty gift box out of it, so I hit the craft room and got to work!
Bo Bunny papers, which I measured and cut to fit the top/sides/bottom/inside of the box. MM trim. Random red twine from my stash. Bo Bunny brad. Crafter's Companion Humphrey stamp and sentiment colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. Glitter for the snow and on the hat.
I hope you love my project! See how easy it is to make a box your own? Don't forget to head over to the XOXO blog and see the other pretty things the rest of the team is making, and link up your own Christmas-y project!
And...in the spirit of Christmas, I'm giving some things away!! I will return to post the picture later, but I'm de-stashing (and there's an adorable Hello Kitty Sizzix die in the mix!) Leave a comment on this post and tell me which project is your favorite so far over at the XOXO blog. I will choose a winner on the Jan 1, 2013 (which I can't believe is around the corner!)

That is just too darn cute! Thanks for the idea for all those boxes that I hate to too. You're very talented Khristen.
Sorry about the mixed up comment - tried to delete but couldn't - should have read - Thanks for the idea for all those boxes I hate to toss out.
What a pretty box! Isn't it satisfying to use things that would otherwise be thrown away?! And oh the elephant is so adorable!!
love Mags B x

This is so adorable. I love your creativity. Awesome idea using your iphone box to make something wonderful. I love the addition of the glitter.
Thanks so much for the chance to win. I am already a follower. Happy Early Birthday!!
I can't choose a favorite, but thanks for a chance!
What a great idea! I too hoard boxes and stuff I think I may be able to reuse some day, but very rarely go back to. You just inspired me! Thank you Khristen.
The altered candles as teacher gifts looks like a really clever idea (your box is adorable BTW!).
Hi! I am new to your blog. What a cute box! Very creative.
What a beautiful creations you make, I enjoy looking around on your site ...
I'm also very happy to join the giveaway, my fingers are crossed !
Big Hugs, Anreda
Very kind of you to extend the deadline on your candy. Your creations are always gorgeous even though I don't often have time to comment.

I missed your original post, glad that you extended. Have to say not only do I admire your box, I admire the fact that you actually DID it! I hate to throw out packaging, but frequently it languishes for a bit before it gets turned into something. Then I'll use it all up and start over.
