    \r\n
  1. Take a cardboard tube roll and gently flatten it so the sides are creased. Carefully push down the ends of the tube, top and bottom, to create a small package shape. Repeat with a second cardboard tube roll.\r\nCover one tube with pink flower patterned paper and leave to dry. Add a piece of pink polka dot paper to the centre of the other roll. Fix a line of gems on either side of the dots.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Tear a strip of pink paper and stick it in the centre of the dotty one. Cut a heart from white felt approximately 3.5cm tall and attach in the middle of the box.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Finally, trim a long length of thin, pink ribbon and secure the boxes together with this, tying a bow in the centre.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"","shopping_list_2":"","top_tip":"Make sure to fold down the ends very gently at first, only crease them properly when you are happy with the final shape.","image_01":74258,"step_instruction_01":"","image_02":74259,"step_instruction_02":"","image_03":74260,"step_instruction_03":"","image_04":"","step_instruction_04":"","image_05":"","step_instruction_05":"","image_06":"","step_instruction_06":"","template":"","related_projects":"658,724,4402,6413,4743","latest_idea_content":"most-recent","show_date":false,"adult_supervision_needed":"Yes","youtube_video":"","products":"FC671,AT709,AW160,EV7056,FE634,E3486","fbt_products":"","recommendation_products":""},"view_count":10,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92274,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203\/revisions\/92274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
