Rings and Dove Decorated Box

Tools for this box include a pair of scissors and a hot glue gun. The rings are made from gold colored curling ribbon but you could use small metal or plastic gold rings which are sold at craft stores. The little dove is also from the craft store and you could just as easily use another type of ornament such as a butterfly etc.. One thing to remember is these little trinkets are attractive to small children. One could only hope that parents would have the sense to keep little ones safe but this is not always the case. If you use small ornaments you might include a small note to remind the parents of the hazard. Any ribbon could be used but make sure its stiff enough to hold the hoop shape. The length of ribbon will determine the size of the ring. Experiment with various lengths to see how they relate in size to the box and ornament. You will be using the hot glue to make the rings. The glue sets in a few seconds so work quickly. Try to find a helper so one person can apply the glue and the other can form the rings.
