In all of my Christmas decorating, I haven’t done much with the theme of presents. That’s because all of my decorating is done in part so that the celebration isn’t just about getting stuff. But even I have to make certain exceptions, because there is little that is as pretty and thrilling as a wrapped up package. Except for maybe 12 wrapped up packages all tied up together. When I found this set of 12 nesting boxes, I knew I had to make a decoration that would celebrate the 12 days of Christmas.
You will need:
A set of 12 nesting boxes. I got mine at Joann’s and they’re made by Die Cuts With A View
Spray paint
Glitter
Glue
Ribbon
Gift Tag
You can decorate these boxes any way your heart desires. Since that top box gets so little, I wanted to keep the look pretty simple and traditional. I sprayed the boxes with a deep green or burgandy – planning that part out carefully so the colors would alternate correctly – and then misted some gold spray paint over the top to add an elegant metallic sheen.
I added a glitter border around the lids of each box by running a line of glue around the very edge, and sprinkling it with glitter. Let this dry thoroughly before assembling, it’s easy to botch up the glue while it’s wet.
Finish decorating the boxes however you’d like. I cut these numbers out of velvet paper and glued one on each side.
Stack the boxes up by size and glue them in place.
Wrap a ribbon around the entire stack and tie it off with a giant bow at the top. I love the effect I got from using a double sided ribbon.
The gift tag I decorated with glitter in the same way as the box lids. A little glue around the edges and some glitter on top. Then just a handwritten message.
When the tag is dry, tie it onto the bow.
This turned out to be a really simple project I finished in a matter of hours, and it’s a great way to add some height to a tablescape where everything is suffering from being around the same size. I think mine will go under my 12 Days of Christmas tree, as the perfect finishing touch I didn’t know I needed.
