Black wrapping paper
White textured linen craft or scrapbooking paper (medium weight)
1-inch wide black satin ribbon
4 small black round buttons
1. Wrap box in black wrapping paper.
2. Cut white craft paper to the same length and 2 inch shorter than the width of the box.
3. On the wrong side of the craft paper, mark the center of one short edge and draw a line from each ov the corners on the opposite end to the mark, forming a triangle.
4. Apply glue to the wrong side of the craft paper, taking care to coat the edges well. Center and affix craft paper to box.
5. Cut a piece of black satin ribbon long enough to wrap around the width of the box, plus 1 inch. Wrap ribbon around box, positioning it one inch from its top end, and glue ends in place in the back.
6. To make bow, cut a 7-inch piece of ribbon. Glue ends together, overlapping ends about 1/4 inch, to form a loop. (Note: Ribbon measurements for bows are approximate. Lengths may need to be adjusted slightly based on the size of the box used.)
7. Apply glue to center of the loop and pinch opposite ends together to form two loops.
8. Cut a 2 1/2-inch length of ribbon and place the double loop bow face down on its wrong side.
9. Apply glue to each end of the ribbon strip and fold over to form a bow.
10. Glue bow to box, centering it over the ribbon.
11. Glue buttons to box, spacing them evenly below the bow, to complete the design.
