Repurpose Chocolate Boxes into Envelopes

Hooray, you're here!

I love boxed chocolate bars even when they're empty. I know it's not a delicious option as the chocolate but the boxes are always worth keeping.

Just like my previous post where I repurposed empty food boxes, I'm using these empty chocolate boxes for crafting, turning them from blah to TADA!

I like that this particular box resembles an envelope.

With some acrylic paint and a wide brush, I painted the inside.

I also painted the outside. It took about five coats to fully cover the labels. 

After I let the paint dry, I added these pink areas to add color. 

Then I took out my rubber stamps and ink pad.

They're an easy way to add decorations.

Stamp on the butterflies liberally around the envelope.

Don't forget to stamp on the inside of the envelope, too.

Look how much space it has for handmade postcards, letters, and little gifts like friendship bracelets, pins or stickers...TADA! 

This area is for the addresses and postage stamp.  

Here is the front -- ready with encouragement.

Not only do I have a sturdy envelope to mail to a dear friend, I was able to turn an empty chocolate box from blah to TADA!
