What supplies will I need for Cardbox?

I am putting our card box tonight with my MOH and i just had a space cadet moment and forgot to pick up ALL of the supplies to make the cardbox - I have the 3 boxes, my dad cut the holes in the boxes for us but beyond that I am not sure what else I would need to complete this project - ANY help would help girls... TIA

Pretty much all you need is fabric, ribbon, and a hot glue gun.

you need to get fabric if you wan to use it or project paint and ribbons or stencils in case you want to cut out a monogram of your intials and maybe some fake flowers for the topper

You need to decide what your design is first and formost.

So very basic question: are you going to have a fabric covered box or paint it?

Once you decide that, you either need fabric or paint and each of those brings different supplies. If you are doing paint, I would recommend foam brushes (I got a much more even coat when I did mine). If you are doing fabric, you should get some spray glue.

For both ways though, you'll need extra design elements:

Ribbon or other edging material (strings of beads)
Pre-made bows or other finishing touch (seashells if you are having a sea theme)

A hot glue gun is also essential.

GL!
