Looking for a special way to ask your bridesmaids and maid of honor to be part of your big day? These sweet accordion gifts can be customized to your bridesmaid's personality. They "pop" open when the lid is taken off!

Materials needed: Boxes with lids, Ribbon, Computer/Printer and assorted charms or tokens.

Step One: Measure box and layout text accordingly in a program like Microsoft Word or Adobe Illustrator. You'll want to make each one according to your bridesmaid's interests. Print it out.

Step Two: After printing, cut out the strips of paper and fold them accordion style. Be sure to leave a little flap at the top to adhere the strip to the lid of the box.

Step Three: Attach the tokens or charms by tying or gluing them to the paper then adhere the strip to the lid of the box.

Step Four: Tie with a ribbon and voila! A special gift for your special friend.
