Maybe I’m a little crazy or maybe I’m a little weird, but I love to dress up ordinary things, even if they don’t need any dressing up! Soda bottles seem like the perfect item to dress up for summer, right? I decided that I’d dress up the box of these Strawberry Crush drinks and it would make a great gift for taking to a backyard barbecue or even on a picnic. Today, I’m going to show you how easy this Dressed Up Summer Soda is to do.

Put together some Dressed Up Summer Soda for your next backyard barbecue or summer picnic. It's the perfect and fun addition!

Use your paper trimmer to cut your paper to the height of the box. Wrap it around the box and secure it at the seams. Cut a piece of paper to cover the handle. Ink the edges, then attach it to the handle area. (You can cut the handle out if you’d prefer.

Find your supplies that you want to use to embellish the box. If you use stickers, put some baby powder on the back of them, to take the sticky away. Ink the edges of the banner shaped piece. Attach the banner shaped piece to the box, then use dimensional adhesive to attach the other embellishments.
