Form meets function with this easy way to turn any simple box into an eye-catching metallic chevron container. My best friend is getting married and I am throwing her bridal shower this weekend.

The wedding is such a special and celebratory day, but marriage lasts a life time it is nice to have those well-wishes in a place you can re-read them in times of need. I wanted the box to be in the modern aesthetic of the wedding so went with the chevron pattern, and chose the platinum silver to match the bride’s ring. This would also be a great addition to the living room or a lovely way to store supplies and class up an office.

I love the look of vintage needlepoint (especially needlepoint handbags!) from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, and wanted to try my hand at needlepoint myself. So I grabbed some plastic canvas, got to stitching, and soon realized: needlepoint is pretty easy!
This garland is made from the simplest of supplies and makes up very quickly, so there’s no need to save this just for July. Got some cupcake liners and index cards on hand?
