Here is some 13-ounces or less mail that I sent to my MIL. She sent me a bunch of notions last fall so I thought this would be a fun way to thank her.
This box made its way to a dear friend this week. I covered it with burlap and then stenciled the birds and letters on.
For shipping, you reverse the flaps so that plain cardboard is on top allowing the address labels to be affixed.
I also made a stenciled fish box - where I painted over reverse stencils and allowed the girls to decorate the areas left blank in the shapes of fish. It was awesome and the mailman was great about being careful about the label placement but I forgot to take a photo!!
What lovely gifts. A thrill to receive I'm sure. I just came upon some burlap in my sewing box the other day ... I think my next mail out will be that. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a beautiful Mother's Day gift. In Canada, shipping is so expensive. I am not sure if the post would allow a little wooden box. That wooden box sewing diarama is just precious. Your mind and creativity amazes me.
