That Village House has a wonderful idea for decorating either the inside of your house or outside of your house with a large topiary! We could totally see this being made in a mini version using dowels and smaller boxes as a great center piece for a table!
I started with 3 different sized boxes...9, 12 & 14 inch cubes.
I
used an ice pick to punch holes in each of them so that I could run a
rebar through them. (It's easier to do the holes first, before getting
them all wrapped & pretty.) For the smaller boxes, I slightly
off-centered my holes, so that the boxes would tilt on each other.
Then I wrapped them and made bows for each.
Tip: Keep your wrapping paper pattern running the same direction.
Tip #2: Before you poke holes through the paper, put a little tape on it. It will help the paper from ripping.
I
also made sure my seams were right down the middle of the boxes so that
the ribbon would cover them up. And I used double-sided tape to hold
the ribbon and bows in place. I'd love to take credit for these tidbits,
but again, I straight up copied this idea!!
