Good Enough to Eat!!!

Looks good enough to eat but DON'T!!! It's for the bath tub!!! The perfect gift for those who could use an hour in the tub to relax!!!

For this project I used the cupcake box tutorial found here.

Inside this box is a bath fizzy. Another way to decorate up a little something for someone special without spending a lot of money. This makes a wonderful gift for any gal who needs a relaxing soak in the bathtub. This is a great teacher's gift and the kids can help some with it too. Like wrapping up the bath fizzy in the foil candy paper or stamping some images on the outside of the box bottom before it's assembled. The love to help out with the gifts they give to others and for most of these gifts there is some little job they can participate in. I know most of the time it's just easier to do it yourself!!! I've been there myself. But the look on their face when the project they helped with is complete is worth more than words can every say!!

On the bottom of my box I used the Stampin' Up! jumbo wheel "Spot On."

When making these please be sure to add something on the bottom of the box stating what is inside (ingredients help too) and that little reminder that it is not edible and not intended for children under 4. It's always best to be safe than sorry when it comes to things like this. Any child (and some adults too) would see the ball wrapped up like candy and assume it is candy. The prettier you make things like that the more they can be mistaken for candy. Use caution. For mine I just copied the wording that came with the fizzy. I figured they must know what all needs to be included on it so I went with that. If you are planning on making these to sell you absolutely NEED that information on the bottom. No question about that at all!!!

These would be great for teachers gifts, craft fairs, stamp camp, Christmas gifts, birthday gifts and those "just because" gifts!!!

SO now you can get started on those little gift giving plans!!!

Thank you SO much for stopping by,
Wanda
