Now, I couldn't just throw it away... I was sure it could be used for something!! I didn't have a lid, but I kept it anyway. And then an idea struck me... with a little shrink wrap, it would be perfect for homemade chocolates! And so it went from THAT to THIS:
And with my recent penchant for Valentine's things, I added a little I Love You and gave it to my sweet love.
Of course, after I made one I realized I had another two (I told you I had an addiction!) containers sitting in my "find a way to alter" pile (Oh, there are LOTS of things in that pile!) and thought that they'd make a nice looking wedding cake if stacked on top of one another. So this idea is for future reference, if I ever throw a wedding shower again. Wouldn't it make a cute centerpiece?

Thanks for my Valentine's present!
I love that! I have a pile of "things to be altered", too... Someday...
Great job! And, the candy looks very tasty! :-)
ooooooooooh! those boxes ARE adorable, but really, when you have HANDMADE CHOCOLATES... (!!!) well, in my case, at least, you would not need a lid or shrinkwrap...i assure you i'd be able to eat them BEFORE they got stale! :)
ok, you are GOOD! what a great idea. I too have a little stash of things to alter. reuse it baby.
