First start with a rectangle of scrapbook paper
(any stiff, cardstock type paper will do).Fold the rectangle in half width-wise. Then give it a small crease at the open end
to determine the center point.

Using a ruler, score a line
(use a stylist or the back of a butter knife)
from the top center to the bottom outside corner
of each side of the rectangle. Your scores will resemble a triangle. Flip the paper and repeat on the other side.

At the top of the box punch holes through all four ends.Thread ribbon through the holes and tie.Cut a circle about 4 inches in diameter. Begin at one edge and cut in a circular pattern
resembling a curled up snake.
Cut off the center bulb, or "snakes head."Start at the center and curl the entire "snake"
until it resembles a flower.

Use hot glue or craft glue to adhere a scrap of ribbon or yarn and then apply the paper flower on top
(use a big dollop of glue and hold until the flower is set).Now you're ready to untie the ribbon and
fill your cute little box
with small items like candy or jewelry.
