I don't have picture of each step because I was just too gung ho about it and because all boxes are so different.
To start for this one I used some 8.5/11 papers I picked up at Michael's for a previous project and just cut pieces to size for each of the sides. I mod-podged them on and let it all dry!! Then I came back and added the ribbon and button flower so WALA!!!
I did leave the edges uncovered because I just wasn't sure I wanted to mess with those little tiny strips of paper and I kind of liked the look it gave the box. Also, you can see that there is no clasp or closure to this box. I kind of like it that way and I am not really sure yet whether or not I will replace the one that I removed.
Not sure why this flower looks so gluey and weird here, I guess the light play on it? I will have to clean it up with some goo-gone before giving as a gift. Overall, I am totally in love with how the whole thing turned out and can't wait to see my mom's face on Christmas morning. She loves red and so did my grandmother so the little splash is sure to make her smile.

Yeah, those edges would have been a pain and the box looks great just as it is!
