These are the silver heart boxes that I put the beads on. I used wire -24 or 22 gauge - cut into small pieces, which I then made 'staples' out of. They were easier to twist shut on the underside that way. All have glass beads in flower and heart shapes, some leaves, some fringe beads, and at least one butterfly on each one. I lined the inside of the box lid with a heart shape cut from card stock, which I covered with silver wrapping paper. I then put a large dab of hot glue at the top of each curve of the heart shape and at the point, then pressed it into place. I put a gift in each one, with a heart shape piece of card stock on the bottom that explains what the gift is, then I cut small strips of the silver wrapping paper to fill the box.

I actually made me something! That's very rare, believe me. :-) I used Swarovski crystal slides in sapphire, with 4 mm Swarovski crystal stones and silver beads. The watch face was bought at the same time as the slides, as they were being sold with the slides as a way to make a nice gift. I used a silver clasp on this, and Soft flex wire.
