to follow: 1. Using the green leaves, start making a
"flower arrangement" on the lid of the box. Use the 3D Foam Tape
squares instead of glue. 2. Now add the purple flowers, the small white
roses and the small green-white flowers to the arrangement, again using 3D Foam
Tape squares instead of glue. 3. Finish it off by adding a few seed beads to
the arrangement. Use the quick-drying glue to fix them to the
"arrangement." Remember to use only a small drop of glue for each seed
bead. Use a pair of tweezers to make the task easier. 4. Add the ribbon as a finishing touch. Again use
3D Foam Tape. 5. Fill the box with cut pieces of raffia, and
then add the chocolates to the box.
