Here's a SIMPLE gift idea!!!!Start with THIS box! I saw it in a store this week and though, wow! That is an awesome box to alter!!!
1.Open the box, take out the treats in it and gobble them down FIRST!!!!!!!!!! Then take the cover apart.
2. Spread a coating of glue on it and place your patterned paper on top and flatten out smoothly.
3.Let it dry and trim the paper around the edge of the box.Fold up again.It will look like this.
4. Open up the box completely. A 12x12 piece of patterned paper won't fit across the box, so what I did was I added a small piece on the end before I started covering the whole box.
5. The places I have marked witha black "X" do not really have to be covered. Cover with glue, the areas that you want to put your patterned paper.If the paper you have chosen matches the red in the box, then you really don't need to cover the flaps either.
6. Once you have this done, let it dry and then trim the paper around the box. Re-fold it and glue the ends together.I used clips to hold it in place for a few minutes before starting the next step.
7. When that is glued and set, then all you need to do now is trim the paper around the box, put the box back together and voila, it will look like this!
8. Embellish it as you wish. 
Now it's ready to fill with yummies for a loved one!!!
