Since most of us will be spending sometime at home thanks to Sandy! What’s better to pass the time with a fun DIY… Confetti Gift Boxes

Tools and Materials:

Scissors
Colored and metallic tissue paper
Fringe scissors
Glue stick
Pyramid box
Candy favor
Raffia in complementary color

How-To:
1. Cut 1- by 3 1/2-inch strips of colored and metallic tissue paper. (Each face of the pyramid will require 8 strips; use more for a thicker look.) Use fringe scissors to cut 1/2-inch fringe along length of the strip.

2. Apply glue to one triangular face of pyramid box. Layer colored tissue strips, beginning at triangle base and working upwards. Once layering is complete, trim excess fringed paper with scissors. Repeat on remaining three sides of box, alternating between metallic and colored tissue. Let dry.

3. Fold box into pyramid shape. Place candy favor inside box and close. Tie box together using two raffia strands.

Enjoy and stay safe! xo,Caitlin
