Embellishment Box Ideas
June 2019 I had the opportunity to participate in a fun happy mail swap using embellishment boxes. I began looking on Pinterest and YouTube for different ideas about what to put in them, and I was struggling to find inspiration. I found a few embellishment box unpackings, but not very many. So I filmed what I put in the box I sent to Jessica (@themediumalistmom on Instagram) and I filmed what she sent me. You can watch the YouTube video HERE. I hope these ideas help you come up with fun happy mail to send friends and family. Am I missing any ideas? Be sure to leave me a comment below so I can add to the list!
