America is having a HUGE birthday party this weekend and I decided to create some themed party favors for it! These little treat boxes are so fun and easy to make. I’m filling mine with little poppers, champagne streamers and sparklers for the little one’s we’ll have here for the celebration! I’m also excited to have several of these to set around my buffet as holiday decor!
One thing I learned while making this project is that each part of the US Flag has a name. The blue square with white stars in the upper left-hand corner of the flag is called the canton or the union. Although not intentional, all the dies I used for the box had stitching on them. A happy accident that I love!
I grabbed a red and white paper straw that was stashed away and adhered a layered, stamped and embellished tag to it. There’s a secret tip I shared on the video tutorial that shows how I kept the sentiment banner upright in the box.
