A Very Sweet Handmade Envelope

Hey there! 

I love chocolate. I love it so much that I keep the empty boxes, too.

 

It's not that I don't want to let go, they're just very ideal for crafting.

In a previous post, I did a little D.I.Y. turning an empty chocolate box into a mailing envelope. 

I made a few more if you're interested to see:

The chocolate box already looks like an envelope.

All we need to do is paint it to block out the labels. It will take at least five coats of paint with some drying time in between.

I added a contrasting color and let this dry.

I'm using these unicorn stickers for fun and whimsy. 

Stickers, stickers everywhere! I left some space to write the recipient's name.

Enclosed are handwritten notes on handmade cards and a sticker sheet to share.

Here is a smaller chocolate box that I also painted. 

I decorated with dots using pink and purple paint. 

They look like sprinkles!

Fill the envelope with sweet things like candy, stickers, and thoughtful messages on postcards.

All that's left to do is to seal (I'm using glue), address, and send.

That's how I repurposed these chocolate boxes from blah to TADA! If you're interested, there are similar projects here, here, and here.
