Trim the exterior of your box with a “valance” for the window made from a scrap of paper and a border punch. Add another sentiment, a few buttons and embellishments.
In the bottom corners, add a few paper flowers and cotton mushrooms and attach using a hot glue gun.
Add a little bird to complete the scene.
