I am so honored to be posting here at seven thirty three – – – a creative blog for Creativity Week! I’ve never posted on anyone else’s blog before and I’m still pinching myself! My name is Bethany and when I am not running after my soon-to-be first grader or 20 month old twins, I like to rest or watch Days of Our Lives or eat things-obviously there is chocolate involved- but I usually don’t do those things. Usually, during nap time or late at night, I pretend like the house is in perfect array; the laundry cleaned, pressed and put away; lawn mowed, dinner finished and there is nothing else to do but make and do crafty things. Those things- the good, the bad and the REALLY bad- I post on my blog, “The Paper Pony“.
Do you find it difficult to find just the right box and packaging templates? For some reason, I can never find the templates I need, or they cost money, or I can’t download them or some other issue. To remedy this, I started saving the packages of things we bought and started turning them into templates and it was super-easy! I might even have been known, on occasion, to buy a product just for it’s packaging. And now, I have a selection of packaging options. So, here is how to turn these:

I am sooo going through my cupboards to see what fun boxes I can recreate! Thanks Beverly!
Great tutorial Bethany! I was waiting to see when you would pop up here after getting your link for the quarters activity, you sent to me at ABC & 123. I love reusing old boxes too and it’s a great way to use all the paper I seem to horde. Now I’ve got a huge stack of boxes in the basement too, I think my DH thinks I’ve lost my mind sometimes. Yours turned out beautifully, I really like the one with the ribbon!
How fun! I NEVER would have thought to do this. Thank you so much for sharing. Nice to meet you at New Friend Fridays at The Girl Creative. =)
Thats so great! Thanks for sharing this.
That is such a great idea! I’ll be looking for cute boxes, now, too. 🙂
Wow that is pretty genious 🙂 Thanks for sharing, I will be keeping an eye on all of my packaging now lol
Pretty clever, I would have never thought. thanks for sharing
