Materials Needed

2 hat boxes of different sizes
White shiny/glossy spray paint
Newspapers
Utility knife
Scissors
3 rolls of material ribbon (mine I needed 2 in burgundy and one in green)
3 types or colours of decorative flowers matching your colour (qty lots)
Glue gun and sticks

Instructions

1. Cut with a sharp utility knife a slit in the top box's lid for the cards to go and then cut a large hole in the bottom of the top box. Leave around an inch and a half to two inches of space from the hole to the edge of the box. This leaves you room to glue it to the bottom lid.

2. Cut a large hole in the top of the bottom boxes lid not too large though, the top box should cover the hole and have enough left to glue the top box to this lid.
3. Lay out newspapers in your back yard and spray paint the outsides of the hatboxes if they are not all ready white. You may have to do a second coat depending on what design is on the boxes to begin with.
4. Let them try for a day or so.
5. Take ribbon and glue it around the base of each box then do each lid with two strips. One at the top of the lids and one near the bottom of the lid. Glue the ribbon right around the box adding glue every inch or so. This creates a feeling the cake is decorated with these strips of colour.
6. Next glue flowers that look like buds or closed roses around the side of the top box in the centre I did them every 2 inches or so. And stager two rows of them on the bottom box.
7. Decorate around the slit where the cards go with bunches of three flowers. I chose three different flowers clipped the wires shorter and twisted them together. I glued each bunch on fairly close together.

8. Loosely take your ribbon in two colours (mine was green and burgundy) and glue it at one bunch of flowers then twist it a bit and glue it at every other bunch of flowers so it ties the colours and flowers together. Do this all the way around the slit.
9. Take more bunches of three flowers and glue them on the edges of the lids every few inches. And at the same time take the two ribbon colours and glue them to each flower bunch and loop the ribbon between each flower bunch. Have the ribbon loops loose and not to tight to the box. Just work your way around the boxes till you are done. Make sure you measure and space your flowers evenly so there isn't an irregularity in the spacing when you get to the last few that you glue.
10. Now glue the bottom box lit to the bottom box and then glue the bottom box lid to the top box. You can leave the top lid unglued so you can retrieve you cards without damaging your card box. If you are concerned about people opening it you could glue a decorative loop with ribbon on each side of the lid and glue buttons or sturdy flowers to loop the ribbon around on the box.

The finished product!
