Baby's Full Moon Gift

My sis's friend just had a baby boy and for his full moon my sis got these really cute onesies... :) So she asked me to make a box for the gift...

I kept having this idea of balloons that ran through my mind so I decided to go ahead with the idea.. I didnt want a standard square box and started to explore a hexagon shaped one..

Am quite pleased with the results actually...

I made the bottom box with turquoise blue.. Two little onesies in a little box... :D

I then made the lid white so that the balloons would pop.... I had cut out little ballons of various colours and attached a string to each to make them look realistic... Then tied them all up with another bow...



I also wanted to make the balloons more three dimensional so I used some pop dots to get more texture and depth....

Then my sis asked whether I was planning to tie a ribbon around the whole box to hold them together.. that wasnt exactly the plan since that was come in they way of my balloon designs but my sis didnt want ppl simply lifting the lid and seeing the contents so I had a bit of thinking...

I decided to attach ribbons to the lid which would then go around the box from the bottom to hold it together and the ribbon would tie at the side of the box... I must say I quite like the outcome of this idea since it gave the box a twist.. Made it not so conventional...
And then my sis asked me.. "Is there a card? " Jeez... for a free job she sure is asking for a lot... Oh well, I had some spare balloons left so I made her a simple card...
All in all this was a fun project.. :) I had a chance to try out something new and made something cute...
