Altering a lettuce box into a gift box.

2:00 AM | Posted by Maggi | | Edit Post

The other day in the forums we were discussing uses for plastic boxes that come from the grocery store with lettuce and such in them. I've been saving these lettuce boxes for a while now with the plan to alter them and that conversation prompted me to get with it!

This first box I've altered using our August Kit of the Month, Wistful Blues. Below is a step by step video tutorial on how I altered this box. Enjoy!

Here's another box I altered using Marion Smith's Garment District collection.

And one more, this one done with Graphic 45's By the Sea Collection.

I want to see what you can do with your plastic boxes. It really doesn't take long to do these and they are really pretty and unique ways to box your gifts.
