With Easter just around the corner, now's a great time to get started on some projects!

We've put together 3 surprisingly easy projects that won't take you long to make. 

Project #3 - The Glam Bunnies

For The Glam Bunnies project, we actually made 2 different sized bunnies. 

This photo shows the larger bunny.

For the larger Glam Bunny, we used the double cupcake carrier (shown above, opened and closed). The cupcake insert can be removed if you wish to use the carrier for something other than cupcakes.

This photo is the smaller Glam Bunny. 

 

 For the smaller Glam Bunny, we used the single cupcake carrier (shown above, opened and closed). The cupcake insert can be removed if you wish to use the carrier for something other than cupcakes.

For the ears and feet, we used Glitterati gold and silver paper (from Envelopments). Using  

sharp scissors, simply cut our feet and ear shapes, as well as some whiskers.  Attach the

 feet using glue or double sided tape. For the ears, pinch the bottoms a bit so the ears stand 

up a bit better (use a stapler to secure). Then attach using glue or double sided tape.

 

 We added small satin ribbon bows at the base of the ears to hide where they're attached 

(plus bows are cute!!)

Now don't forget the bums!! We made small pompoms using tulle 

netting and attached with double sided tape.

Now you're ready to fill your Glam Bunnies with all sorts of yummy treats!
 That's it...pretty easy and really won't take long to do!

We have our samples in the Store if you'd like to come by and see them.
Hopefully we've inspired you to give this Easter project a try! Looking for more ideas?

Hello everyone!


Never has a project been as easy as this one - decorate a gable box!
Armed with one sheet of 12"x12" sheet chalkboard vinyl, chalkboard marker, one natural colored gable box and some colorful patterned ribbon (all available from The Essential Packaging Store) you too can make these beautiful and useful gable boxes.

You simply need to cut a nice shape from the chalkboard vinyl sheet, write your message then peel & stick (the chalkboard vinyl sheets are sticky backed!) to the gable box. Add the patterned ribbon to the box and you're all done!

This S'Mores Kit example would be a nice hostess gift or a take home treat for your guests! You could also use it for birthday parties or any other special event.

See you soon!

Wrap Up Those Gift Baskets!

How To Wrap A Gift Basket 
In 8 Easy Steps  here 

It's on our new blog A Beautifully Wrapped Life!

!

Hello and Season's Greetings!
Yup, that Christmas season is definitely upon us! Here at Essential Packaging that means a steady flow of customers wanting to create fabulous gift baskets. Today I had a customer who needed to get some wrapping for a Family Fun gift basket that she'd created. I asked her if we could do a blog post on it so other customers could see!

I loved her idea - the basket was filled with board games, cards and snacks! We added some red basket shred in the bottom for cushioning and color. Now came the fun part of finding the best way to wrap it up!

Because the basket was so big, it didn't fit into our largest 26" x 40" clear cello basket bag. And, because the basket was also quite wide, our widest 40" cello wrap on a roll also didn't fit. Argh!! So, what did we do? Well, when all else fails, you use 2 lengths of cell wrap, from the roll, and you place them side by side to make it wider! This will work for most large baskets. It will help to have an extra pair of hands for this!!! This is what the basket looked like after we gathered it all up.

Now that all the cello wrap was gathered up, we trimmed the top so it wouldn't look so floppy. Please remember to do this step!! It makes your baskets look so much better!!

Then all we had to do was add the ribbon bow, that we made out of satin and sheer ribbons. Voila!! The customer loved the finished product! So, this holiday season, try your hand at making a beautiful and creative gift basket for someone special on your list!
