Both elegant and edgy, this luxe-look hatbox with patent leather and rhinestone letter stickers is a fab way to wrap up a gift for a teenage girl.

Preparation

Materials:
- Hatbox, 6-inch diameter (available at many craft stores)
- Scissors
- Black paper with nice texture
- Double-stick tape
- Pink and white vintage-style paper
- Black patent leather and rhinestone letter stickers (available at many Michael's craft stores)

Steps

To cover the hatbox bottom: Measure the height of the hatbox; usually about 4 inches.
Cut strips of black paper so their width is the same measurement as the hatbox height.
Use double-stick tape to adhere the strips around to hatbox bottom; fold any excess paper on top over the rim of the box and secure with tape or gluestick.
To cover the hatbox lid: Place the lid on the pink and white vintage-style paper. Trace around the lid about ½-inch out from the lid, so your paper circle will be ½-inch wider around the diameter.
Center the paper circle on top of the lid and adhere it to the lid using double-stick tape; fold the ½-inch excess down on to the side of the lid.
Measure the lip of the lid and cut strips of the vintage style paper the same width as the lip measurement.
Use double-stick tape to adhere to strips around the lid to cover the folded excess form the top and finish it all off.
Place the lid on the box and spell out "Gift" in black patent leather and rhinestone letter stickers.
