Paper and Dots

Kraft Flower Box



A kraft box makes the perfect indoor planter. Get ready for spring with fresh flowers and a little creativity.




1.  Collect your supplies. Here is what we used:
           + foam sheet
           + ink pad
           + clear stamping block
           + two metal pails
           + two small plants
           + two mini clothes pins
           + two gift tags
           + pencil
           + quarter
           + glue
           + scissors
           + paper shreds
           + kraft box






2.  Start by designing your stamp. We made a polka dot pattern and used a quarter as a circle template. Trace the quarter onto the foam sheet using a pencil. Any shape will work and imperfections make stamping more fun! Once you have your design penciled in, cut it out and secure with glue to your clear stamping block.





3.  Use your stamp to design a pattern on all sides of the kraft box. We used metallic silver ink but any metallic or contrasting ink color works well. Test your stamping skills on scratch paper before stamping the box for practice.




4.  Personalize your box with gift tags. We wrote the plant names onto the tags with a metallic marker. Embellish your tags in other ways too, have fun with it. Once your tags are decorated, re-plant flowers into metal pails. Line your box with paper shreds and enjoy springtime blooms inside your home.
