Death by Chocolate Box

 

So I took the advice bestowed upon me by the Insomniac and Deborah and came up with a homemade chocolate box for the "Death by Chocolate" present exchange.  First, I took an old Godiva box left in my daughter's room from Christmas.  Sometimes it is a blessing that she never cleans anything up.

I painted the inside of the boxes black. I own the black paint obviously.

 

Then I covered the top half with some wrapping paper I bought from Michaels - cost $1.50.  The bottom half was covered with a 12x12 piece of scrapbook velvet also from Michaels - the cost with coupon was $1.20.

 

 

Next I got some chocolate - nestles white chocolate and milk chocolate morsels at $2.50 each, the organic semi sweets $3.99 and wilton candy melts for $2.50. Needless to say, I still have lots left over for other projects.

I molded the chocolates in the shape of little skulls and red hearts - cost $2.50 for the heart mold - I already had the skull mold and the white mini muffin papers.

 

 

 

I added a bow I got at Target after Christmas (about $1) and viola - candy box for about $15.20.
