As soon as I received the die for these darling little dessert boxes from Lifestyle Crafts, I knew exactly what I wanted to make with them...



With summer fast approaching and the nautical trend just exploding, I decided that these little dessert boxes would look perfect dressed up like little boats...

To make these little boats, I simply cut out two of the tops of the tops for the box...each one out of a different cardstock...to make them resemble little waves...



Then I dressed up a small skewer with paper flowers, little "flags" and a little paper pom pom...


I broke a little popsicle stick, punched a whole in it, and attached it to a skewer to serve as a name tag...(and it looks like a little oar...sorta...)...


I finished off the "mast" with a little twist of hemp rope (from Canvas Corp) and done!

Wouldn't these be adorable for a baby shower or lake or boat party? Or you could attach a gift card to it! OH! Or use them as invitation, even! Just slip the info into the box!

And the dessert boxes themselves are just perfect for treats, or little knick-knacks...make a whole bunch and you have a little paper cake! How cute is that?


And don't forget! ANY purchase you make from Lifestyle Crafts is 20% off (that includes SALE prices, too!) with the promo code "MIDWESTERN" - awesome...
