The window lid on this 8" x 6.75" x 3" tin box is perfect for showcasing artisan made sweets inside.

 We teamed up with Christy's Gourmet Gifts and filled the large tin box with small chocolate bunnies and cookies decorated like Easter eggs.

We added bright green sizzle to the box to keep the chocolates and cookies in place.

The hand lettering details were added to the tin box window using a white Sharpie paint marker. You can recreate the hand lettering yourself using the template in the download below. All of the instruction for creating the faux hand lettering are included in the download and you can see photos of how we added faux lettering to similar Easter projects here and here.

We also added a watercolour satin ribbon to the tin box. The ribbon is actually our white single face satin ribbon that was painted with watercolour paints. You can find the diy instructions for painting the ribbon in this blog post.

Oh Hoppy Day ... A Sweet Idea for Easter Entertaining

Monday, 8 April 2019


Oh Hoppy Day ... Easter centrepiece inspiration | Creative Bag

Here's a simple idea for a centrepiece that can be made well in advance of the Easter long weekend. Our glass jars with lids come in a variety of different sizes and can be used to display Easter chocolates, cookies or any other sweets that you wish. 

In this centrepiece, we've displayed a large chocolate bunny in a tall glass container and used gold geometric candle holders to display smaller chocolate bunnies.

Course sugar and green sizzle was added to the bottom of the glass jar to hold the large chocolate bunny in place. Baby's breath was spray painted with pastel colours and placed around the base of the jar to create a wreath effect.

White satin ribbon was painted using water colour paint for a pop of colour and added to the jar and gold candle holders.

We added the "Hoppy Easter" lettering to the glass jar and you can do it too!

Here's how:

1. Download the lettering template and print it out size as is.

2. Cut out the lettering and position it inside the container as shown above. Use painter's tape to hold the paper in place.

Using a white Sharpie water based paint marker, trace the lettering onto the outside of the glass. Don't worry about creating an exact copy of the lettering template. 

Once the faux hand lettering is dry, you can add the sugar, sizzle and bunny.

Oh hoppy day! Sweet hostess gift wrapping inspiration using cake pop boxes and hand lettering | Creative Bag

We simply added an Easter message to the box by adding "faux" hand lettering using a Sharpie paint marker. The ribbon is actually our plain white 1 1/2" satin ribbon that was coloured using watercolour paints.

We added small chocolate bunnies and cookies from Christy's Gourmet Gifts to this cake pop box as a hostess gift idea. Green sizzle was added to the inside of the box to keep the chocolates and cookies in place and to add a pop of colour to the presentation.

Flower Treasures spray painted baby's breath in colours to match the watercolour ribbon.

The cake pop box also makes a great container to carry large chocolate Easter eggs. The sizzle keeps the egg from rolling around and covers the holes in the cake pop base.

Note: The cake pop box is sold in two parts. The lid makes it easier to transport cake pops on the base and is sold as an add on. Both are available in white and kraft. 



Here's how you can recreate the "hoppy day" hand lettering on the cake pop box window:

  1. Download the printable template.
  2. Print the template "size as is" to fit the box window.
  3. Cut the lettering out and centre it inside of the box as shown above. Use painter's tape to hold the lettering in place.
  4. Using a white Sharpie paint marker, trace the lettering on the outside of the window.

You can also use the "hoppy day" template to add faux letter on glass containers.
Use the same white Sharpie paint markers on glass so you can remove the lettering later using water and a paper towel.

Hoppy Easter!

Here we glued pom poms to paper bags to look like bunny tails and added tissue paper to look like bunny ears.

The tissue paper "ears" were simply two pieces of tissue paper tied with baker's twine to hold their shape. A white tissue paper pom pom was added to the bag first and the tissue paper ears were placed on each side to finish.
Note: you can find a tutorial for making tissue paper pom poms in this post.

Hand made pom poms were added to these muslin drawstring fabric bags. The bunny and chick themed pom poms make these plain bags party ready for an Easter celebration. If you are going to add candies or edible products to the bags you will want to package the food products in clear candy bags first.

Planning an Easter egg hunt? Send the kids (and adults) off on the hunt using these burlap tote bags that have been embellished with pom poms and a little embroidery floss. The pom poms were sewn onto the burlap tote bags so they would stay in place.

Easter is just a couple of weeks away .... we hope that some of these ideas will inspire you to take your holiday gift wrapping to the next level.
