you've seen the box my MOH made for me, she used fabric, gift boxes, ribbon. glue and rub on stickers. If you can start saving coupons from AC moore, michaels, joanne fabrics. She said the most expensive part of the project were the rub on stickers and the boxes.

If you have questions feel free to ask me and I will ask her all the questions.

I used fabric and hot glue and ribbon. The only thing i do not suggest is using satin. It is extremely difficult to get the corners pulled tight because it is such a soft material.

sorry its crooked in this pic..they changed out the table after this pic was taken

I made mine too- cost me about $20- got the fabric from joanns, an exacto knife- to cut the hole out- I had a couple boxes that I used that were just plain old boxes & I stole my grandma's hat box- used a hot glue gun to fasten everything- took maybe about 3-4 hours- but was totally worth it

i will upload pictures when I get home tonight

I used random boxes I found (Victorias Secret boxes work great!) and used fabric, hot glue gun and ribbons. It came out really pretty and I will post a picture later today. I used coupons from Joanns fabric and AC moore and it only cost me about 35 total for everything I bought!

(I'm away on business for work but still checking LIW when I get a break!!)
