I recently picked up a pack of white milk cartons from Riot Art and Crafts. They are made from a thick white card with a gloss finish, and I thought they would be the perfect way to package up some hard to wrap gifts.
As it is never too early to start planning for Christmas, I decorated one in a Christmas theme this morning. The shape of the carton will be perfect for giving cookies, wrapped in a cellophane bag and then popped inside.
I used the Cricut Very Merry Tags to cut the reindeer.
I also made up one with a Ice-Cream Sundae birthday theme using the Cricut Sweet Treats Cartridge. Â The cartons would also be great for kids birthday party favours.
I think you will be seeing more milk carton projects over here in the future.
Those milk cartons are awesome…lots of potential for creating! Love how you’ve used your Cricut and Cuttlebug….oh what fun you’ll have at Christmas time!
You are so awesome Lisa! Your ideas never cease to amaze me.
What a great idea, must put a trip to Riot Art on my list when i’m down at the shops.
The cartons have come up well, a little bit of imagination goes a long way. Years ago I covered washed milk cartons in contact andused them for potting cuttings in to and using as gifts. So many ways to recycle also.
How I would love to receive cookies in a carton like that!
Beautiful decoration.
I Have featured your christmas carton on http://www.christmascreative.blogspot.com
Lisa, you are so inspiring…I can see myself taking a little trip to Riot to get some of these…you have decorated them beautifully….have a great weekend
Wow! These are great. Truthfully, I think the box is a gift in itself 🙂
Clever and fun. I never knew you could buy empty milk cartons.
What fun projects! I can just imagine how excited the recipient of these gifts would be. Those cricuts sure are cool, making quite a statement!
What a splendid idea. No more crushed cookies as a gift! Your Cricut is sure coming in handy.
