Hello, I did buy the plain chipboard circle boxes. I rubbed with Tim Holtz Vintage and Walnut stain ink to distress, used Gesso and Ranger Pink Shell alcohol ink on bottom embossed 'hatbox'. Hot glued the ribbon slides, prima flowers, hatpin. Paper pieced Prima Puccini paper *used both sides patterns* to the top and sides both inside and out. hot glued boxes together and glued bottom lid shut. ONLY TOP box lid opens and is full of fancy Chocolate egg candies.

This is the most glamorous treat container EVER!!!! Love the sweet details on the hatbox - string of pearls, vintage DP, paper flowers and the cotton string handle. So perfect it makes me squeal! The glamor girl card you created makes for the perfect pairing. Popped this fun idea into my Favs! TFS
