I made the pattern for this cake box gift box myself so that I could have it as large and as deep as I wanted it. I trimmed the edges with string pearls and cut a scalloped edge on the lid using my little fancy scissors

I used little bows of ribbon and lace on the back of the box to hide the joins.

I decorated the top with twirls and twists of string pearls, ribbon and lace, and then added a cluster of little paper roses and two large pearl hat pins xx
