# Easy Gift Wrap & Manicure Set

I don’t like wrapping presents, so I’m always looking for ways to create pretty packaging without using wrapping paper. Glue Dots® allow me to embellish packaging to give it a personalized touch without having to wrap anything!

![glue-dots-gift-ideas-manicure-set-samantha-taylor.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Gift%20Ideas/glue-dots-gift-ideas-manicure-set-samantha-taylor.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-gift-ideas-manicure-set-samantha-taylor.jpg)

**Made by:** Samantha Taylor  
**Time:** 10 minutes  
**Level:** Beginner  
**Size:** 5” x 6”+

Use Ultra-Thin Glue Dots to decorate an average box with things like flowers, leaves, and buttons to make the packaging extra special. Use Removable Glue Dots to keep everything inside the box in place so the inside is just as neat as the outside!

**Here's what you need:**

- [Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1018?plpver=1002)
- [Removable Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1017?plpver=1002)
- A small box
- A fabric or felt flower
- Tissue Paper
- Manicure items (nail polish, nail files, nail stickers, etc.)

**Here's what you do:**

Use Ultra-Thin Glue Dots® to attach the flower to the outside of the box.

Place tissue paper in the box (this step is optional). Place Removable Glue Dots® on the bottom of the bottles of nail polish. Place firmly in the box.

Place all other items in the box.

The final package looks extra special and cute!

My name is Samantha Taylor and I have a passion for combining crafting and creativity to beautify life. I live in a small town in rural Iowa with my husband and 2 boys (all 3 of whom you’ll see featured in my projects). I’m a paper crafting fanatic who also loves photography. I enjoy making lay outs, cards, mini albums and home decor items, party decorations, and crafting with my kids. My favorite thing about crafting is getting to connect with so many people all over the world who also love creating pretty things and preserving memories.
