Hi Everyone
A mixed weather day - it looks like it will rain but its quite mild.
It's Day 9 today on our Christmas Prep. And today's offer is another little box for jewellery or small gifts. This time it's a 'pillow box'.
I've made two versions of the standard box and decorated them with stickers from day 5 and made additional small tags from the stickers batch.
The pillow box shapes are made (in my version here) with a sizzix die but you could easily cut out the shapes and vary the size. If you cut them out you would need to score the end flaps to bend over for closure.
I've taken a few photos to show the development.
My flat box shape is printed in sheet music and the die itself, cuts some little tags as extra 'cut outs'.The cutting mat on the photo shows the size I've used. If you would like a flat sample - email me and I will send one. I will just ask you pay for post & packing. There are many templates out there on craft sites if you look.
The gold 'sticks' in the centre of the photo are thin bits of corrugated gold card - I've used these to embellish the box. I've also used a section of the angels print - again as a decoration for the box. I've simply tied the papers around the box and trimmed with another sticker. The other box is decorated with yet more stickers and some twine. I've added a little tag to this box.
I love these boxes they are so simple to make and can be decorated to compliment any style.
Hope you are inspired to make a few for your own Christmas wrapping.
I've not done very much creating this week. Christmas, as usual generates lots of extra work - much of it , last minute stuff - each day Ive had extra orders. Thank you to everyone ordering my stuff.
I did get some lovely wool in the post. Here it is. The idea is that these little bits are samples for colour ordering but my idea is to use them for making a crochet broach. You may remember me sharing a design idea a few weeks ago.
I must give a mention to 'crochet' here, ie the broach link. Here is that broach.
I've not mentioned 'crochet' for at least a week ! The new wool is also destined for a forthcoming little crochet workshop next weekend. I'm really looking forward to the event. I may get some photos.
Must get on a deal with a few more orders AND get online to order my Christmas.
Bye for today.
