How To Make a 3D Hot Air Balloon – Altered Christmas Box

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

As Christmas is just around the corner, I decided to alter a wooden box using some yummies from our store. Today I will be showing you how to make the 3d hot air balloon shown on it using some basic paper and trims from May Arts.

I have used many supplies randomly from my stash. I love utilizing each and every thing available in my craft room. If you love giving details to your projects, then this video tutorial is for you. Fasten your seatbelts and please join me at our YouTube Channel for a video tutorial on this project.

Hello Ladies,
Welcome to Day1 of Gift Wrapping Blog Hop with May Arts.

Today I have a snow globe on a gift box for you. I have recycled a small box of Godiva Chocolates.

Hope you have a great day
