Shoebox: Decoupaged Birdhouse Gourds, Wedding Favors

Their first step was to buy a bunch of small papier-mache boxes shaped like trunks. Each one was first painted with two coats of white paint. Violet then took a photo of the young couple, and with the help of the computer, reduced it to the size of a postage stamp--and along with the photo printed out the date of the wedding. These were run through the Xyron to add a sticky back and they were adhered to the "trunks". After placing a couple of Hershey's Kisses in each box, it was wrapped in tulle and secured with a ribbon. A tiny rose was added. Just the one that Violet sent was pretty. I can imagine that many of them on a single table top looked lovely.
