Meet Lily. Lily has so many mementos and keepsakes and no where to keep them – until now! After taking some time to search through Buttons Galore’s thousands of creative embellishments, Lily’s mom (DIY expert Lynn Lily) was inspired to create a unicorn keepsake box for Lily.

“I love this box because you can use an old gift box and it could also be used a jewelry box, bow box or gift box for a little girl!” said Lynn. Check out the easy how-to video below. Supplies and instructions below the video!

Supplies:

Unicorn Bundle (Includes all 5 items below)
Rainbow Unicorn Shaker Mix
Shimmering Hearts
Hello Cupcake Embellishment Kit
Candy Hearts
Pastel Micro
Gift Box
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Card stock
Curled Gift Ribbon
Sparkle Card Stock
Clear Plastic (Tip: use the packaging from the buttons)
Scissors
Gold Sticker Letters

Directions:

Take a piece of thick plastic. Ideally you can use a packaging from your buttons. Fold it over (if it isn’t already folded). Add sticker letters of the name of the child who will get this beautiful box!
Glue the square on three sides.
Fill the pouch with the Rainbow Unicorn Shaker Mix. Glue the fourth side shut.
Glue the pouch to the inside lid of the gift box.
Glue ribbon trim around the edges of the pouch. I used the ribbon that came in the Hello Cupcake Embellishment Kit.
Add a charm from the Kit to the top of the inside lid for a special touch.
Close the lid.
Roll a piece of glitter card stock into a cone. Glue the enamel dots from the Hello Cupcake Embellishment Kit in a spiral around the cone.
Cut eyelashes out of black card stock and glue to the front of the box.
Cut a half circle from pink card stock for the unicorn snout and glue to the front of the box.
Glue two Candy Heart Buttons to the front of the box for the cheeks.
Add buttons for the snout nostrils.
Close the box lid and turn right side up.
Glue the horn on top of the box towards the front.
Add gift wrap curly ribbon around the horn.
Glue Candy Heart Buttons, Shimmering Heart Buttons and Enamel Dots to the curly ribbon.
Fill the box with special momentos!

I am so excited to keep adding special keepsakes to this box for my sweet Lily! This is the first of many fun projects I will be doing in partnership with Buttons Galore & More. I am so excited to share all the amazing products they have to embellish your crafts and celebrations!
