Start by assembling the Green Pillow Box by folding in the two edges on one side of the box, adding in your favor and then folding in the other two edges of the box. They should stay in place all on their own!

We added some yummy Sparkling White Chocolate Candy for our guests to enjoy!

Take a long piece of Gold Metallic Cording and Hot Glue the edge of it to the bottom, center of the Pillow Box.

Wrap the Cording around the center of the Box until you come back around to wear you started.
