This Fobbie becomes a bonus gift after the gift if opened. With this DIY Fobbie I found this cute Santa ball-in-a-maze game. I painted the DIY Fobbie red then glue gunned the game on top. After I added the ribbon I used some metallic Chenille stems to accent the ribbon and game and also to tie on some candy canes.

For decorating this DIY Fobbie, I used Adirondack red inks for the marbling effect and then had a HOPE jingle bell that I glued on top. I wired on the berry/pinecone/garland. I used a crepe paper ribbon and then accented with a jute ribbon and used kraft paper to wrap with for a natural holiday gift look.

I often find myself cruising the isles of craft stores looking for interesting things to use on a Fobbie®. While strolling through a sewing isle I saw this bejeweled appliqué  that you would normally sew on a pair of jeans. I thought it would make a lovely addition to a DIY Fobbie®. I wrapped the box with the paper and then I glue a section of the paper on the Fobbie® to match and then glue gunned the jewels on top making an elegant presentation.
