52 Weeks of Mail: Week 26 | Summer Lovin' Box

Since Summer is officially  upon us I wanted to send some happy mail to celebrate the new season.  Summer is short lived in Minnesota so we have to squeeze out every once of the summer while we can.  I found several adorable inspiration pieces for my summer lovin' theme and ended up with the perfect little package to send my mail in.  Keep reading for the details.

I had the hardest time trying to find a small box to mail my goodies in; I searched high and low with no luck.  I stumbled upon this Pin and the lightbulb finally turned on.  I ran to the store and purchased my Crystal Light containers so I could finally pack up my items.  Here's what I packed in that little container:

  • Flamingo Headband - those little flamingos are so adorable- perfect for holding back hair on those warm, summer-y days.  See more super cute headbands over at Little O Love's Etsy shop.
  • Lavendar Lip Balm - love this stuff from YLO!  You can dab it on your bug bites, too!
  • Summer print designed by this gal- embellished with a bronze pinwheel sticker from Michaels
  • Crinkle paper
  • Washi Tape

I used the washi tape to decorate the ends of the container.  I placed the crinkle paper on the bottom followed by the print, headband and lip balm. I used packing tape to secure the address label, return label and to secure the lid in place.  Easy peasy, right?   Have an extra Crystal Light container lying around?  Use to mail some Happy Mail!
