A BESPOKE CHOCOLATE HAMPER....................................

15/2/2017

2 Comments

 

Last week I was asked to prepare a bespoke chocolate hamper as a gift.

I wanted to ensure that most of the cost would go on the chocolate itself (the important bit, I'm sure you'll agree!), so decided to be a little creative on the packaging!

I came up with the idea of recycling one of those infamous amazon delivery boxes, by 'decoupaging' it and using it to house all the yummy chocolates.

Out came all my crafting tools (pva glue, tissue paper!) and I set about transforming this ugly box into something beautiful!

​It took a while to dry - but I sped up the process with the industrious use of a hair dryer!


The pic opposite shows the box in question hanging up to dry on two kitchen roll holders!

​I also wanted to include a few individual chocolates so, knowing the taste preferences of the recipient, I made a few rose flavoured 'hearts and roses' chocolates.

Once bagged up, they looked a treat and I tucked them into the hamper along with lots of my delicious 70% flavoured bars plus a little chocolaty surprise!

​I was very  pleased with the finished product - see the picture opposite for the completed hamper.

It is being collected this afternoon so fingers crossed the lucky lady will be happy with her hamper!


Wishing you all a wonderful February - the sun is on its way folks - hang on in there!
