DIY Birthday Box

 I have my very own John Watson. And she's pretty amazing! (Hello there, John.) While her name isn't actually John, that is what she'll go by for the sake of anonymity. Anyways, John's birthday is in a few days (The 31st, actually,) but because she shares a birthday with one of my brothers, we celebrated a few days early. John, another close friend of mine (Who will go by G, until I can find a better code name) and I spent the day together doing some things that will be featured in a different post. For this post, I want to talk about the Birthday Box (!!) I put together for John.

The first thing that I did (after finding a box) was paint the box. I actually decided to add polka dots to it after I painted it. The polka dots were done in hot pink because I wanted to coordinate the stuff, and a bag I used had polka dots in the same teal colour along with hot pink ones. (I'll show the bag later) 

                       

  Next, I found a white mug and wrote on it with a Sharpie "Sing to the LORD." 

  After that, I made some melt and pour soap in the shape of little hedgehogs (She is John Watson. She also likes to send me pins of Hedgehog Waston and Otter Holmes) They were lavender scented, and put in a cute little baggie that coordinated with my box.

I added a box of Green Tea with Mint, some fuzzy socks, and a composition book that I DIYed,  let some of my siblings stick their presents in the box, and made a  garland to top it off. 

The pictures did most of the talking for this one, but I was really happy that it turned out so well. Though my garland was a bit messy. I'm not too good a precision when it comes to using scissors. I felt really extra driving over there though. Either way, I hope you enjoyed your Birthday Box, John.
