I had these 2 ideas and I had to tell u , one is a dream catcher and a fall leaf pillow: for the pillow what u do is cut out paper Leafs put them over a white pillow, spray paint fall colors over it and take of the leafs and it will look cool (don't spray paint all of the pillow) Xoxo by

[@BellaBranchDIY]

[@nathanboulter6879]

You are the kind of mum I am trying to be for my little boy! I love this! He's too young for a care package but when he's older, he is definitely getting one! P.S. we have that sauce over here in London if you want to omit it from your next box.

Spices are most definitely a thing in London, We have loads of Indian food, and Caribbean food. Probably more than English food.

[@lisagordon6355]

Tara Sinead americans can be so ignorant......as if u.k. doesn’t have kombucha! & all those tags to operate? daughter must have no clue

[@hazelcollins7667]

lisa gordon the tags are for decoration, it’s not because her daughter is clueless

[@bsknera]

how adorable! reminds me of the care packages my Mom used to send me :) they were the highlight of my life when I was getting used to the life away from home

[@ElusiveElegy]

Thank you for posting this video! I'm inspired to send a care package to someone special. Do you have any tips on sending mail internationally? I've never sent a package outside of the country before so I'm not familiar with the rules, prices, and how to keep items in good condition. If you have any pointers I'd be happy to know

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi +ElusiveElegy Thanks for loving my DIY! You can get a Flat Rate International Box from the USPS. You can insert as much as you would like for a flat rate cost. Check with USPS for rates. Have a fantastic day! xo, Michele

[@katblack2837]

I have a boyfriend in London, I'm from the US, and I would love to send him a care package in a large flat rate box. Does anyone know how much that would cost?

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi +Kat Black If you go to USPS.com you can check the rate. It's not that exspensive. Thanks for loving my DIY! Have an awesome day! xo, Michele

[@denise225576]

Hey what size flat rate box did you use here?

[@everosenthal2594]

Aw your so sweet

[@zaheersadiq2817]

Where do you buy a box from

[@haly981]

Where did you bought the mini emergency kit? By the way this idea is very pretty and easy to do, I really love it.

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi haly981 I'm so glad you liked my care package DIY! I bought the Glitter Emergency kit from "Paper Source." If there isn't one near you they have a website. Happy New Year! xo, Michele

[@haly981]

Michele Baratta Thank you so much, I´ll do my Internet search right now :)

[@Alexis-ze8gt]

Is this expensive to ship? I wanna make one for my boyfriend who is in the marines stationed in Japan.

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi +Alexis Tafoya It's not too expensive to ship. Go to the post office and get a flat rate box. You can fill it up for one flat shipping rate. Your boyfriend will love it! Have a fantastic day! xo, Michele

[@Alexis-ze8gt]

[@michellesunshinestar]

I'm farsighted. I always where glasses. I also have readers. I'm like, am I wearing the right glasses? This is a really creative and cute idea! I sort of like sriracha sauce. A little goes a long way. I had to try it. Because all the KZbinrs like sriracha.

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi Michelle beautyfabstar 2000xxooxxooxx …I have to wear glasses for reading. But, there are so many cute glasses out there! I'm glad you like my care package DIY! It was so fun to make it. …and I loooove Siracha too! xo, Michele

[@michellesunshinestar]

I have astigmatism, and had to get prescription readers.

[@kaileesky4844]

Do u have any tips on how to film a DIY because when I trie it doesn't come out right xoxo

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Kool Kid There are a ton of awesome KZbin videos on how to film. You should just do a search and see what comes up.xo, Michele

[@sambain]

Did your daughter by chance taken a video of her opening/ receiving the gift? If not next time you send her one may you please ask her to record it I think I would really enjoy that plus you could see her reaction as well!

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi +Sam Bain I wish I told her to film herself! I will make sure to have her film it next time! Have a fantastic day! xo, Michele

[@sambain]

+Michele Baratta you as well excited for the next one!

[@michellesunshinestar]

Please do more videos. I'm sort of vegetarian, I say I'm 75% vegetarian, and I eat fish (pescatarian). My mom is vegan. So I know all about it now.

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi Michelle: I'm going to start doing more videos soon. Thanks for the sweet note! xo, Michele

[@icedcoldbrew]

this is random but hat size box did you end up using? and flat rate boxes ship internationally right? i want to send an aussie friend a gift lol

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

She's in London... spices aren't a thing? :/ London is known for it's international markets and people. The fact that Siracha isn't actually American (though if you go into Tesco's you can find american things, and that's not even in london) she could probably find it anywhere had she done some research. That goes with the vegan food too. BUT care packages are a lovely american tradition, wish we did stuff like this :)

[@BellaBranchDIY]

Hi AndSoWeLaughed …Thanks for the the tip! Happy Holidays! xo, Michele
